This discussion has been around for a while so I'm just confirming my understanding. I recently purchased the Edge 530 (actually exchanged a competitor's unit for the 530). I've spent the majority of my time with this unit trying to figure out why Strava live segments don’t display on saved courses as you ride over them. Admittedly they will display if I’m out just riding with no saved course or route loaded into my Garmin. However, if I’ve loaded a course or route and there’s a segment somewhere in that course it will never display on my Garmin as I ride over it. It doesn’t seem to matter where the course was created: Garmin Connect, Strava, Komoot, Ride with GPS. I’ve tried them all and I’ve verified that my segments are installed on the 530 and enabled. The competitor’s unit I returned didn’t seem to have a problem with this at all. Segments displayed in saved courses without any issues at all. This leads me to believe this limitation/restriction is intentional on Garmin’s part. Maybe there’s some economic motive I’m missing. Can someone within the Garmin stratosphere do a couple of things for me: firstly confirm my understanding that segments will not display in saved courses as you ride over them and then secondly, why not? It can’t be that technical
