I've had a few days of GPS issues, too. It doesn't recognize that I've finished a segment, and instead the time keeps on rolling. Any else have this?

I think i read somewhere that if you want accurate speed you'll have to use the Speed sensor. In the forest - all bets are off i imagine.

It could be the inaccuracy of the original (Strava or Garmin) segment track too, if the creator's track was inaccurate then an accurate unit's tracking doesnt match with it. So need to see the problem deeper (need to to know which segment, your FIT file is needed too and we could guess what could be the problem)

I've never been so disappointed with something, used my old edge 800 last weekend, bring back the 800 with bluetooth!
