Course monitoring

Hello,

I use the 1050 only for mountain biking and when I go to the statistics on the Garmin Connect application and the "road surface" section it tells me that I did 100% of my trip on the PAVED surface and nothing on the NO-PAVED, how does it detect the surface on which we ride?

Is there a particular setting to make so that it detects what type of surface I ride on?

Thanks you

I don't know how it works on a 1050 but OSM based maps have a "surface" attribute, when I look at the map on my 1040 it will show unpaved surface with a dashed road indication but only if I have unpaved roads turned on in the Map "Tray" or the Map Overlays. It might not recognise & count the surface as unpaved if the unpaved setting is not enabled ? MTB trails might be something else, I don't know as I am not good enough for them?

Hello,

yes this setting is enabled, I don't understand why it doesn't work

I use this “utagawa” map, maybe I need to activate “garmin cycle Map EU” so that the 2 maps overlap??

Do you see the unpaved roads/trails(?) as unpaved (dashed?) on the map, if not than it probably does not count them as shch in the stats, perhaps it requires the actual Garmin map. Again I don't know about the 1050 but on previous devices having two maps with overlapping coverage caused problems. Try it with just the Garmin EU map.

Surface data comes from the map so unless the map you are using contains that information in a way the Edge expects it will not show up.

As suggested above I would disabling any non Garmin maps and try riding in that area again and see what you get.
