I'm fairly certain that this is how it has always worked. At the very least, that is how it worked when I recorded commutes. It is also consistent with how Garmin describes the various times and averages.

To avoid this, just end the workout when you arrive at your destination.

I've uploaded 1500 activities since 2006 and this is the first instance of a change in how the Elapsed Time is recorded. My Edge device has the correct cycling times but the Connect account is now showing totally different data just for this week. Has anyone else seen the same change?
No I think this is a new software problem as I have been having the same problem the last 2 weeks or so. The time on my 305 display and on the first upload page is what I think is right, but then the time on the activities page is different. I think it is the elapsed time that includes when I stop the time en route - to wait for traffic at a road say. Was there an update recently that has caused this? I was trying to send an email from the website but it kept crashing on me...
