Are strava live segments working for anyone following a course created in strava?

Can you post the FIT course file from you unit?

Segments do not work when riding a course. It's a major annoying issue with the Garmin devices...

Yes, it seems, at least according to this strava support site

UNDER THE FAQ
Can I use Live Segments on my Garmin while following a course?

At this time the segment feature will not overlay on top of the course screen."

I agree it would be helpful to see the FIT file from one of these successfully created coursed which include segments to better understand what is going on.

I find it very unreliable whilst following a Course created in Strava. On a course with about 4 or 5 Starred Segments...I’m lucky to get one start normally when I approach a Segment. Also, when a Live Segment does start, quite often after a few seconds I get the Off Segment message and the Live Segment stops...and another thing I’ve noticed is that once the Live Segment quits...then the Course that I’ve been following also stops a lot of the time. 

I, too, have issues with live segments and my 1030. My experience is as spinderbundy describes in this thread. That is, segments load, they show on the segments list and distance away updates as you would expect. Then, as soon as the segment starts, the 1030 flips to segment screen but then immediately loses the course and all segment (and climb) information, including the active segment.

If I then reload the course, the upcoming segments and climbs reload until I hit the next segment and they are lost again. Interestingly, after the course info is lost, the segment finish still displays on the map view.

Would welcome any guidance on a path to resolution. Thanks — jay

I would like to see the FIT activity file from one of these rides. I wonder if the unit is losing GPS position as you start a segment.

aweatherall thanks for the response. See attached. — jay
