• RE: Footpod calibration - no effect?

    Short update: THANKS, GUYS! :)

    Today I ran the same workout on the same treadmill with the same hill program and the same pace and the same shoes and the same footpod (forgot something? ;-)).

    Footpod settings were auto calibration off, distance always,…
  • Step counter

    Hi All, 

    I need your help /advice.

    My illness has been progressing quite rapidly in the last half a year.

    (I have Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis). 

    It is very difficult to simply walk. I attempt to walk 3 times a day but a very short distance.

  • 935 latest SW 21.0.0 hiking does not record GPS

    Hi. Ever since I got my Edge 830 for biking I haven't used my FR935 for recording data so often. Last recorded activity was in February - ski. Today I tried to record a hike, waited until the GPS turned green and off I went. After cca 10 km on faily open…

  • RE: Awful GPS track, any fix incoming?

    I spoke to a Garmin rep at a race expo yesterday. I told him about the issue I was having (GPS coming up way short for known distances) and he told me to try two things. He switched my watch to GPS+Galileo and he told me to use Garmin's WebUpdater before…

  • RE: Fenix 8 not connecting to GPS

    Same here. Also had no issues with recent outage. 

    Went for a run this morning on a very familiar route  - noticed that my first measured km was short. Third km was long (but got me back to overall correct distance). Didn't fully realize what had happened…

    Speed

    The fastest I've had is about 29 km/hr. Here's some examples of top level surfers (38 km/hr max):

    Makes more sense, since from my limited use, my other max speeds were around 15 mph. The…
  • RE: Speed Readout on Edge 1030 Plus Is Extremely Slow

    So from what you report I assume you don’t have a speed sensor therefore the speed is derived from changes in GPS position, this is not very accurate over short distances thus the speed number will jump around a lot. The value will be dependant on the…

  • RE: New GPS update 4.40 pushed out

    Hahaha I'm happy to confirm that this update does nothing to improve the already poor performance of the VA3. In fact, it might make things worse.
    Just finished a 2.36km bike ride. 9 minutes and something. In this short time I got:
    - (at least) 3 sensor…
  • RE: Stride length

    How are you sure your stride is so short? Have you counted steps over the course of a longer distance? ((Steps with right foot) x 2) / (MetersTraveled) = StrideLength ....right? Record an activity over that same period...(or lap) should match…
  • RE: 1030 + gradient issue... speed sensor issue, strata maps issue

    Regarding gradient, I would like to put that in the same basket as VO2max and temperature.

    Garmin tries to give us its best estimate, but you have to understand how (in)accurate the value is.

    For gradient: even using GPS and barometer, a grade value over…
