New 1040: Three Issues (Bugs?)

Hi all--I recently upgraded from a 1030 to a 1040 and have run into three issues:

1. I did a 53-mile ride. At mile 28, I stopped for 10 minutes. Garmin was set on auto-stop, but did not automatically resume when I started riding. Because I was following a route and had the map screen on, I did not realize that the timer had stopped until mile 41. I lost 13 miles of my ride. I never had a similar problem with my 1030. Auto-stop on the 1040 seems to work fine for shorter pauses (I haven't yet tried to reproduce the issue with a longer pause, and I already added a distance counter on the map screen to prevent the problem again. Still, I'd like to fix the source of the problem). What happened?

2. One of my favorite features on Garmin Connect, Fitness Age, no longer works. The app says that it needs data for resting heart rate, but I don't see a place to enter this data manually. Is it necessary to wear a Garmin watch, etc. to enable this feature? (Hope not.)

3. When I'm on the map screen and following a route and the map switches to show a climb (Climbpro), at the conclusion of the climb I am returned to data screen #1 instead of the map. I then need to scroll through screens to refind the map. I'd much rather that it return to the screen I was on.

Any help is appreciated. Many thanks.

  • 1) Auto pause has never been a problem for me, despite more than 10 minutes  ( like this ride the other day , where we had a long break reaching Tårbæk for Pizzas  www.strava.com/.../analysis  )

    2) Use the Garmin Connect app and select the 1040 /my statistics/Hr zones and then enter your resting HR ( my translation from danish)

    3) thats how it is , hoping it will be fixed along the way 

  • 3 is fixed in the 18.15 beta build

  • 2) Fitness age was showing nonsense to me until I bought a watch. It was using minimum HR from my workouts (obviously much higher than my resting heart rate), no matter what I entered as my resting heart rate. Maybe we're supposed to sleep with our Edges and HRM straps now? :-P
