Device locks up almost immediately after start up. Fails to record distance, speed, cadence etc. The only thing which seems to work consistently is the Heart Rate Monitor!. If I load a pre-prepared route and select 'Ride' there is a good chance the device will operate correctly but even this cannot be guaranteed. Yesterday, my preprepared ride worked for the first 25.6 miles where I stopped, pressed the pause whilst I had a coffee but the device failed to resume! I could not save, delete or turn device off!
After a while, pressing the power button for around 10 seconds, it powerd down. I later started the device again and was able to record the last 16.4 miles of my 50 mile ride.
Todays ride, the device recorded 0.77 (time), 0 feet, 1 lap and an average speed of 0.00 mph!. This is typical of recent performance and all for £461.68.
I am having to rely on fellow riders sending me there records so that I can add to my Strava.
What the *** am I doing wrong? It seemed to be working OK for the first couple of weeks. It is being regularly updated.
It seems to work correctly 1 in 5 attempts but I can never be sure. As a Ride Leader, I use / need the turn by turn navigation system but my device is useless and I have to rely on somebody else using a Whahoo or other device.
Is there a Warranty on theses devices? How do I get a replacement? This is my third Garmin device. The first was an Edge 25 and was brilliant. The second was an Edge 820, worked ok until the battery died when I replaced it for my current Edge 1030 which is next to useless.
Help please!
