As a suggestion it would be extremely useful to have the option to enable/disable Strava live segments via the activity profiles on the Garmin Edge. As an example when I am racing or doing a structured session, it is extremely annoying having a strava live segment appear on screen. It would be great if I could select a "Race" or "Program" profile at start up to disable all the segments. Then when I am social riding I can select another profile to enable all the segments.
Does anyone know of a way that when the live segments do pop up, that you can simply wipe them off the screen and see your speed and other data? I find that when I ride a lone I like the live segments but when I am with a group, it's usually an annoyance. It would be nice if when it did pop up, I could bypass the countdown that particular time and it just reverts to the previous screen.
Is that possible? I think I have hit every button when it comes up and nothing seems to work.
I'm sure if you hit the back button followed by the enter button then it will do this. I'm pretty sure thats what I do when I know I'm not going to be beating the segment time on a particular ride.
While the 520 is in the countdown to start of segment mode you hit the back button twice, followed by the select button. If you have started the segment then you have to hit the back button once followed by the select button. While in the segment the arrows work as well to change screens. This is with firmware 6.20.
Is there not just a way to turn them off full stop. I don't use them for rides especially in Christchurch with many segments and on some climbs multiple segments within a climb. Every time I sync with my laptop the segments are re enabled. I don't use segments within a ride and only look at them after a ride.

If disabling all through the Edge 520 menu doesn't work, set Garmin Connect to use Garmin segments. That will delete the Strava segments off your Edge 520.

+1 for that idea. When riding alone I use live segments, but on a group ride I think it's bad form to use them. What am I going to do - jump out of a double pace line to chase a segment? Not a way to be a good club mate! So having an activity for solo vs group ride would be great if I could enable live segments for solo and disable for group.
