Odd Time displaying on chart

Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi,

I uploaded an activity today: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/416005430

It clearly shows that the time was between 1hr 15 and 1hr 30 depending on how you look at it. But if you add "Time" to the charts, they are not correct at all, almost like I rode for 1000 hours or something.

Anybody any idea why it has done this? The only one thing I could think of is it lost satellites during the ride? When this happened I stopped until it found them again and then resumed.

Yeah that's a little bizzare. When you set the graph to display distance on the x-axis it looks reasonable. But selecting time for the x-axis it screwy. Maybe your 500 hadn't gotten a good satellite lock and had a chance to update the time/date properly before you started riding. You do clear out your old rides on the edge periodically so free memory doesn't become an issue, right?

It was locked when I started, plus it got the summary of the time correct. Yeah it's odd because the distance is fine, and the player is fine too, although it has the same time axis problem.

I have never cleared anything out, not sure how to be honest. I have only had it for a couple of weeks though and recorded 11 events of approx 15 miles each. I might try later uploading the same ride to Strava and see if it does the same there? Hopefully it's a one off.

I downloaded your track and found an anomaly: the time part of the time stamps looks allright, and the date part for 2/3 of the track too. However, the last part has a date almost 10 years ahead (2023-10-01)...
I can fix the GPX file I downloaded, but some information will get lost that way (like laps and calories). You should ask someone to fix the original fit file with the Fit File Repair Tool: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?28449-Repair-Fit-file

Thanks.

It was approx 2/3rd of the distance through that it lost the satellites, so it looks like from there on it got the wrong date!

I'll put this down to a one off then. I was worried something more bizarre was happening and I don't want it to do it every time!
