Keeps saying "nice jump" when riding on pavement.

last Sunday we were riding on smooth blacktop road at 14 ~ 15 mph on full suspension mountain bike, the Edge 830 keeps beeping and displaying "nice jump" every a few minutes. some show jumping over 7 ft. i was certainly not jumping!

in average 2~3 hour trail rides the Edge would show 30 to 50 jumps when i only had 5 ~ 8 hops/jumps. anyone else has such experiences?

    Same thing to me, 4 meter jumps pedaling on flat fire roads!

    My 830 is solidly mounted on a top-cap Garmin mount, so no flex no anything!!!

    Some serious SW improvements needed here...

    Hey Garmin App developers...this feature is rather stupid and it doesn't work.  Please let us turn it off.

    would you mind enlightening me and the others who want to turn this feature off on how this is done?

    ok, I enlighten you, if you're not able to find a simple setting.
    profile settings->mtb/cx->jump alerts

    Yup, you can indeed disable it... But then it should be advertised as an ALFA-feature, not a premium one in the press...and perhaps disabled by default.

    It's performance is pointless, it's probably 50 lines of code written by a distracted interim developer :D

    thank you.  I am far from the only one who could not find where to disable this buried feature.  Your attitude, like the feature itself needs some improvement.

    I have my garmin on my top tube mounted, behind (or before, depends on how you look) the steerer. I have this false positive only when I roll some tormac street dh, what is not the usual case for an mtb, don't you think?
    as long as I ride trails or even fire roads- no false positives. and yes it IS a super MTB feature.

    "50 lines of code". We have an expert here, he supposedly knows everything better!

    Ah well, I fell (very, very unspectacularly, even boring!) with my bike and ruptured two ligaments on my ankle (only because those darn cleats didn't let loose and my foot got badly twisted! I wouldn't even have gotten a scratch from the fall!), got a cast and was out of business for four months. But at least I got an "awesome jump" for my fall (again, it really was extremely unspectacular)! Laughing

    (Oh, and incident detection worked flawlessly on both the Edge 830 and my FR945)

    I am on the other end of the problem. My 830 has never once praised me for my jumps even though the function is switched on from day 1.
