    Can't be sure if it is related solely to the beta: last night's ride accumulated height as it should but the altimeter itself was out of calibration.
    When I was ~100m above sea level I was looking on it and it was ~-60m...

    disable and enable tones in global settings. I had the same problem. Afterwards it worked.

    Hello - can you please elaborate on the above?

    Also - i noticed that for the indoor bike profile, one can set the bike weight and gear ratio. What effect will have this when following a course? As most of the parts for a proper simulation when using loaded courses have been implemented - is it possible to add CdA as a parameter - to mimic TT / normal road bike speed and more important - to proper simulate downhill speed too? 

    Thanks,

    Tudor

    Does anyone know what "Added device driven Livetrack" is?

  • 0 over 4 years ago in reply to Stewjl

    It means that there is now a UI option on the Edge to start Livetrack rather than requiring you to get your phone out and open up GCM to manually start a Livetrack session. This assumes you don't have Livetrack configured to auto-start on the phone.
