Hi, I was biking today and I stopped for a lunch in a restaurant. I pressed the button to stop the activity and then pressed it again to continue when I left the restaurant. I spent at least two hours there and battery level dropped from 70% to 45% . It seems that GPS is still active even when you stop an activity by the button. Do you have the same issue ? Is there any way to disable GPS when you don't need it ? I can stop the activity, save it and then start a new workout, but I would like to have one activity for the whole trip.
What I would do is stop the activity, have lunch, then initiate a new activity. If you want you can join the two activities into one once you are home. There is an online service that does that. You can Google it.
Correct..and I do not understand why Garmin is not changing the design to "resume later".
That's simply stupid to make it possible only by joining 2 activities via 3 party apps, pages etc. or in the way that autopause has to be activated and you have to turn of GPS manually....
I get what you are saying as it would not seem overly difficult to turn GPS off when paused say like 5 minutes . But we are taking Garmin here and thus common sense does not apply more often than not.
On the other hand, knowing it works this way by design, what is the reason you need to have all miles logged as one activity rather than having 2 activities? Just curious.
The reason is that for me a day trip is one trip. I'm checking how many activities I did per week, month, year etc. All this would be false. Also the statistical for longest trip, biggest evelation etc.
For me, the statitic is the only reason I'm wearing such trackers. About training plans etc. I do not care.
