Altitude Acclimation ?

L.Rouge
over 1 year ago

Not a deal breaking issue but an annoyance, since a recent update (18.x ?) the Altitude Acclimation notice is displayed after EVERY ride, real and Indoor.

The 1040 Owner's Manual page says "Your Edge® 1040 device provides acclimation notifications ... when the altitude is above 800 m (2625 ft.)." but I have not been above a real or virtual altitude of 300m for 12 months and I get the notice even after an Indoor ride! I live on a fairly flat continent where the highest mountain is 2,228m and that is 1000km from where I live so not a lot of acclimation to be had.

The notice gets annoying as it appears and has to be dismissed every ride, I have most "performance" stuff turned off but can't find a switch to turn this off too?

Why does it display if I have not been over the 800m and especially for indoor rides?

    Does everyone get this notice every ride, regardless of ride altitude etc or am I just "special"?

    PS Confirming that while I have had the 1040 since August 2022 I had never seen the Altitude Acclimation notice until testing the 18.x betas in August 2023 but now get it every ride.

    couldnt be a gps issue where due to a bad reception or after a fw update the gps position went to the 'space" ? is your actual altitude is good?

    I don't think GPS is to blame, mine is set to Auto so it picks the best config that will give the best fix and my track and altitude is spot on for outside rides, always. But I also get the screen for indoor rides where the GPS is of course OFF. Its a BUG introduced in 18.x, still in current 19.x betas

    when did you notice at 1st this bug, after the the 18.xx install? pls share the 1st FIT file with this fw number, i will take a look on the raw datas if You dont mind.  (the GPS setting that auto or best doesnt matter if the reception is weak or some circumstances or jamming happen.)

    First I saw it was early August with the 18.15 beta then with each of the 18.x betas and 18.23/18.25 production and again in each of the 19.x betas to-date, I didn't pay too much attention to them as I was more interested in testing the "fix" for ghost courses (18.20 and above) and fix for the elevation screen bug on indoor rides (19.x betas)  I don't keep many activity files only where the performance is worth recalling. I will do one tomorrow and post.

    Same here! after every ride and it's always 3500 meters or more :D

    So the the data is not generated during a ride, but is picked up by the Edge when the unit is in sleep mode. If you don't use sleep mode then I don't think you will get it. It monitors your elevation at around midnight. It may do it it at other times as well.

    The Altitude Acclimation seems pretty pointless for me, I get the message every ride even if I have not been above 20m, even if the ride is indoor !!!, the actual number flops around +-50m or so each time, just another pointless screen that has to be acknowledged after a ride. Do developers/testers actually use these devices and see these things
