• RE: Footpod calibration

    In my opinion, the best way to calibrate is to disable auto calibration (auto calibration = calibrate from GPS pace/distance) and set the calibration factor manually.

    In order to find your calibration factor, the easiest is to set the calibration factor…
  • RE: Adjusting altitude on e6 connect

    I'm with you Joe. For me - 10k is not enough. I've built a garage sim around this device with mats all the way from the R10 to the ball and 9 feet from the ball to the screen, using all the "cheats like raising the altitude and temperature, and the…

  • RE: Anyone monitoring challenges?

    I'm one of those who have been jumping up lately. I've started significantly increasing my long runs. I also started wearing my FR 235 almost all the time now. (long reason that I didn't before, beyond the scope of this thread) Still, there will be…

    All same issues here with 1 additional one. I also have a varia vision HUD and used it previously with my edge 1000 worked perfectly! Since pairing with my 1030 it appears to stay connected but after a very short time stops displaying current speed, distance…
  • RE: 100mi Ride. 157 Exercise Load; Really?

    Definitly low HR. I had the same this weekend. Did a 130km ride yesterday (avg HR 116, duration 5hrs) and got a 122 exercise load score. The day before I did a short easy run of 4km (avg HR 129, duration 30min) and got a EL score of 65.  

    Compared to the…

  • RE: 235 Stops Mapping in middle of Run

    Without GPS it uses accelerometer to guess a distance.

    The watch doesn't show GPS status by default during an activity, so if you want to be sure it's recording a path, then you can download Connect IQ data field for that.

    But lost of GPS happen…

  • RE: Not updated run and not updated budge

    Why is this 42km badge not achevied ?

    Because you got the ultra 50k badge, and only the longest distance badge is awarded for a single activity. To get a marathon badge your activity needs to be longer than 42.2 km, but shorted than 50  km.

    Fitbit Surge and Tomtom Runner 2 are very basic compared to the FR235 (I owned a Tomtom for a bit before I got my FR235 and my other half has a Fitbit Surge). The Tomtom app is terrible and the way they handle files and data is just weird. I had to…

    I am also having the same problem with the distance. I have gone on runs and hikes with other people with different Garmin watches, and my watch is telling me that we have went a mile a lot faster than the other watches. I may try to do the custom steps…
