What about Gradient Lag?

The unit is always monitoring for ‘slope drift’ using an algorithm of some sort-don’t know the details.  It may be using barometric pressure data (I believe it is) to calibrate to sections of road that are horizontal.  

I’ve rode with it a lot and can tell you it works, and very well.

I'm on Beta 17.23 and I can tell you that it is 5ish seconds faster then what it was on the latest public release. It still needs some work to get where it needs to be but it is faster on Beta 17.23. 

I hesitate to post this as I'm a data point of one, but  using the inclination of the device would be problem for me as I generally have the tension of the clamp set to permit rotating about the bars rather  than break something in the event of a crash or the Edge getting bumped.  And def more of a problem on my mtbs.  Even on the road bike, it's not unusual for me to grab the mount and adjust its angle while underway.

Thank you. Will this also include the 530 and 830?

Thank you for the feedback.  Great news that you have a solution on the way!

I'll try and do some timings over the next week, but as you say it's not there yet at least for me on the sharper gradients.  Let's hope that the dev team deliver something soon as per @Garmin-Matthew response 

Be great to put this to bed

Thank you for responding to customer feedback! Looking forward to following the development work in this area.

There are a couple of options to address this, auto calibrate can adjust over time if it detects a change of device angle, or a manual zero button or numeric offset override. 

I'm on SW beta 17.23 
The lag still remains at 30+sec

Gradient lag = elevation lag = shortage of total ascent ((
