SW version 24.19 gradient issue

Hello,

With the latest FW release (24.19), I'm facing a severe issue with grade (percentage) : The slope values displayed by the device are incorrect.

For example, on a severe slope, gradient values of 1 or 2% are displayed instead of 9 to 10%, and sometimes even negative values are displayed ..... This was not happening with previous FW version ....

This happens whatever the speed is during the climb .

Despite this issue altitude values remain correct, only gradients are wrong.

Seems really like a software bug ???

I also have this problem after update to 24.19. Where should be 3-4% I get 0-1%, some times where is 1-2% I get -1%. Elevation graph from all trip is ok, current altitude is also ok. Probably somethings is wrong only with current grade value. Also grade value change much slower than before update to 24.19

Idem. Dopo aver aggiornato da 24.17 a 24.18 e 19 la pendenza è un disastro! Aspettiamo nuovo aggiornamento (si spera!).

I do. It's very annoying; I keep calibrating it while riding, and sometimes I know I'm at 200-300m, but it says something like -10m, which messes with the total elevation gain.

Same, was riding a hill I ride all the time today. I know for fact it's varies between 7-15%. The 1040 was showing it at 0 to -3%. It's worked fine until ths ride, so the latest update must have messed it up.

O meu 1040 sw 24.19 está com as informações de inclinação incorretas, principalmente quando estou descendo e ele informa inclinações positivas.

@chfreund38 do you have a speed sensor?
