What should I do when I stop?

I went out for a ride the other day and then stopped for breakfast. I removed the Garmin 530 as I was worried incase somebody walked off with it. I put it in my jacket pocket but must have pressed a button on the Garmin. The result was somehow I lost the details of the ride up to that point and so I ended up with the details for only half of my total ride. How can I avoid this happening again. Is there a way to disable the buttons or put the Garmin to some type of sleep mode until I continue my ride. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Colin

After pausing the activity, a single tap of the power/sleep button (top left side of Edge 530) will put it in sleep mode. Press again to take out of sleep. I think other buttons are disabled while in sleep…

I use a silicone case and button presses require a firm deliberate action to operate them through it.

BTW, multiple presses of different buttons would have been needed to discard the ride so are you sure that an accidental press was the reason for the problem?

It is possible that I hit multiple buttons as my pocket is small and I struggled to get the Garmin out. :-(
