Everything was going great, start my ride, Live Track starts, fires off an email and I go riding in the dark hills in the comfort that my loved ones know where I am.
I’ve had the 530 for a quite a few months now, I have never once had issues with the 530 and my S9 disconnecting, however today, half way into a 2 hour ride it disconnected and never connected again, something I was blissfully unaware of until I got home. Honestly, what’s the point of a Safety Feature if its unreliable?!? I did not pause the activity, leave my bike or anything else, I was riding the whole time.
As mentioned, I’ve never had a disconnect since having my 530 (well if I have it reconnected and I didn’t notice). I’ve done two things since my last outdoor ride and a trainer session in between where there were no connection issues, they are -
- used Live Track for the first time
- uninstalled and reinstalled the GCM app and re-paired the phone trying to fix something else.
I know I’m having a bit of a whinge, but come on Garmin this has been an issue since the beginning of time!
