Can't get 1Km PB to show up in Dashboard on Garmin Connect

I have a Forerunner 110. I've worked my way through a lot of problems with it over the past few months and am generally happy with it now. however, I have an issue that is still bugging me. I can't get my best 1Km time to show up in the dashboard on GC. My 1Km splits are present, I can drill into them fine and display them, but GC hasn't registered a PB for the 1Km. I used to have the Forerunner set to mile splits, and I've had my mile PB recorded, but since changing it to Km splits a while back, I've had no luck. If I try to browse for a PB time to enter, GC tells me that no activity matched my search - WTF? I have loads of runs with 1Km splits measured in them.

Any advice?

I have a feeling Garmin Connect will only let a run of exactly that distance be your PB. I have loads of 1km splits faster than my 'PB' in Garmin Connect, but the PB it chose was the only run that was actually 1km in total, which is not very accurate (or sophisticated, for a data analysis site!)

funny enough I just posted a similar request ( https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?47251-Is-there-anyway-to-search-through-activities-and-calcultate )

You can use starva.com and race against other's configured segments, then you can use raceshape.com against starva.com segments to plot yourself against others that ran that same segment. really neat presentations and very motivating to get you back out and running/riding to try your best - starva.com also has a dashboard where it displays your fastest 400Mtr, 1Km, 1 mile, 5K, 10K and 1/2 Marathon... I'm hoping there are more engines out there that can provide a true analysis of our runs as Garmin Connect seems to be "old" and are slow to take on and further improve the product and to keep up with other free sites...

I'd really love to see garmin break out and begin to really make their product become more useful and more motivating to use... The only thing I really use Garmin Connect for these days is to schedule my workouts/training and add to the calendar - nothing else really is of any good use!

Garmin Connect I hope your reading this - as this is some free feedback for you guys to get yourselves motivated and start thinking outside your little boxes cause other 3rd party providers are getting away from you now..

cheers
