I just cannot figure out how the Segments feature works on Garmin Connect. Can anyone explain this feature to me?
I regularly run in my neighbourhood. Browsing my Garmin Connect records, I noticed the Segments feature. Scrolling through my neighbourhood, I discovered a couple of segments that I rank on. So, naturally, I want to compete and up my rank :p So, I run those segments, but the Segment doesn't change in Garmin Connect. It's as if my current performance, while uploaded to Garmin Connect, does not sync with the Segments feature.
Then, I noticed that the times for which I rank are from some time ago, when I was using a Garmin Forerunner 305. Now I use a Forerunner 220. Could it be that results recorded by a 200 do not count against the Segments? I can't figure out why this would be the case because, surely, the online Garmin Connect doesn't exclude some users from some features based on the equipment they're using?
Please explain?
