"overall ahead" is not working while running with PACEPRO

Thanks for the update and fingers crossed
After I checked the splits on that one single run I never had issues with missing +/-  of Pace Pro Plans. It always worked, no matter if I start it with nav, without nav, with course or without course. And I do not have to click through the splits beforehand.

Tried today with a strategy based on distance, not course (did check splits before though) and still worked. Tomorrow I'll do one without checking splits. I think you have nailed it. Genius stuff

Did one today, without checking splits and STILL working, Whhooa!

I had quite concrete finding,  do not create the original .gpx anywhere, stick to Garmin's tools: forums.garmin.com/.../1523700

I know this was 2 plus yrs ago, but this was exactly what im dealing with atm. You are a great healp, thanks for posting this

My guess is that going off course causes this issue, even if briefly.

 Correct. As an example: even if you spot on the required pace for the first stage you may be behind or ahead, just from the fact that you started not exactly at the start location of the course being navigated along. Which is a fair approach.

Nevertheless I almost never get an accurate split pace as if  the Split Pace metric of PacePro used different distance data as the main metrics. Which is also quite logical.

You know it seems that PacePro uses the distance of the sections created as parts of the course, while your actual distance covered and measured by a Stryd as an example almost always differs from the former.

In other words a course is always something based on some map data, while your actual distance is based on either the distance your GPS gives together with some tweaking, or some footpod including Stryd.
