Gradient value is way off

While ridung, the gradient % is shockingly inaccurate: on flats it’s flashing up between -16% and plus 53%!!! Never had issue on my 820.

Everything else is working fine. My Edge Explore has the latest 5.00 FW.

Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

Thanks

  • That's because the Edge Explore doesn't have a barometric altimeter, and relies on GPS altitude instead, which can be highly unstable.

  • Ah ok, got it that's why. Got this Explore with airline pts, guess I'll be using it for minor rides then Slight smile, I'll keep relying on my 820 for the more "epic" ones.

    Thank you!

  • That is completely ridiculous and unacceptable, Edge 800 would suddenly stop showing the gradient % at times and according to the garmin site I just visited it says the 800 is barometric so it seems either way what they are selling is not fit for purpose.
