When will we get an update to disable Virtual Partner

mar over 5 years ago

The band-aid of slowing down VP so it disappears from the map does not address all issues with VP.

When will we get a s/w update to disable this annoying "feature"?

200% agree - if only the Garmin people themselves ride in real life they would realise that virtual partner is pretty much BS.

While the virtual partner function sounds great in theory it's pretty much useless in real life cycling.

And it's so confusing and annoying to see another arrow moving off while you're trying to clip in.
