1030+ not recording distance despite satellites connected

Barney
over 2 years ago

My 1030+ is not recording distance travelled. I have been using the Edge for the past 9 months with no problems until recently.

 

The device records speed, gradient, and the navigation map work fine so I am at a loss to understand why its not recording distance. The distance issue starts when I power on it remains at ‘0’ throughout ride.

 

Other -

When the distance problem started I worked through different ideas including removing the speed sensor in order to record directly from the 1030+ GPS

My programmed segments no longer appear on the 1030.

Recently fitted Garmin Vector power meter pedals

 

Help needed and much appreciated...getting frustrated ;-)

Thanks,

Sean

    A silly question - have you started your activity? :D Because while paused it will show you basically everything - speed, power, cadence, even navigation will work, just it will not measure distance and timer will stay paused.

    another stupid question , did you allow gps to locate your positiin before ride?
    is it green? meaning that your devive is connected to gps sattelites? did you changed between modes(Gps gps + glonass etc?)

    did you press the start button?

    I've had the same issue this morning, mine said GPS ready and livetrack started when I started the ride. Set off and distance stopped on 0.02km was a few km in before I noticed when I saved the ride it showed where I had gone but showed distance as 0.02km. Strange. Hope someone comes up with a fix soon.

    How many activity files do you have in the 'Activities' folder on your Edge 1030 Plus?

    On some watches if there are more than a certain number of files in this folder a similar behaviour can be observed

    Don't know if this affects Edge devices too but may be worth investigating.

    Hi randybb,
    Thanks for replying. Often the silly questions yield the right solutions ;-) 

    I think you are spot on. For some reason my device stopped alerting me to start the activity instead I activated it myself and it started to record the distance :-) was only walking in the garden and it worked so will give it a go on the bike tmr.

    Cheers,

    Hi,

    Yes located the satellites but it seems I did not press the start button. What through me was previously I was prompted to start the activity however now I simply activate it myself pushing the bottom right button. I recently added the Garmin power meter pedals and perhaps it may have changed the setup. Anyway, I feel a bit daft but all is working now.

    Tanks for taking the time to reply.

    Cheers,

    Sean

    Hi,

    Hadn't thought of that. i did check my Activity folder and they are all ok however will keep a lookout in the future.

    Thanks for taking the time to help.

    Cheers,
