Not correctly tracking distance or speed.

Former Member over 5 years ago

I went on a mile marked rails trail yesterday and rode 84 miles. My Garmin only states I did 78. Also, the recorded speed was far lower than what I was actually doing, with the speed at full effort regularly dropping down to 5-7mph and then all of the sudden going up to 40mph. The speed was not consistent and the average was lower. This issue remained after disabling the sensors (using the Garmin cadence 2 sensor) which was the only sensor I was using. I am on the latest public firmware and gps software. Power saving is off and recording interval is automatic.

Any help appreciated!

Did you have a good view of the sky while cycling? Have you tried using a speed sensor?

Yes, good view of the sky. I have a speed sensor as well, I can try it

I have a reconditioned Garmin edge 530 (replacement for a new unit which was recording elevation inaccurately). The current unit is recording distance and speed innacurately. This is very annoying.
