I was very happy with my 830 when I got it a couple years ago. At some point I hit 100 routes and 100 segments and started to have all sorts of trouble. I then learned about the limits and deleted my way back down to 90ish of each, deleting and old one any time I add a new one. However, the segments never work right on it now. It's taken me a year or so to realize what is going on...mostly because 90% of the time I'm not worried about segments. What I've figured out is if I'm just cycling without a route, or if I'm using a route I've had on the Garmin for over a year (presumably one of the first 100 ever) the segments work fine. When I create a new route, or download a new route from an organized ride, the same segments don't show up. I tested this theory last week. I manually recreated a club route I've had on my device since I got it. I rode part of it using the original route and the segment popped up. I went back and rode that part again, this time with the new route. No segment appeared. I turned off the route, did it again, and the segment worked again.
I hate riding without a planned route, even if it's roads I ride all the time. But I feel like I have to either pick using a route or having segments. I've tried resetting the device to factory settings. I've disconnected and reconnected my Garmin and Strava accounts. Any ideas what could be wrong?
