Problems with Garmin 500
Started this discussion. Last reply by Stephen Battye Oct 22, 2011. 16 Replies 0 Likes
Yesterday, my Garmin 500 kept Auto-Pausing, even though I was still riding at a decent speed. So a 20km ride showed as 2km...grrr... I also run the Speed/Cadence sensors. Anyone know what's going…Continue

Stephen Battye replied to Bekster's discussion Cadence... explained?"I've found using my Garmin to measure cadence has been so helpful to my cycling.

Stephen Battye replied to Gus K's discussion Strange things happen"This one time we were driving to the Barossa doing 110km/h when a bee flew through the window, hit me on the cheek, deflected off my face and onto my wife's arm where it stung her. Freaked us right out. I was pretty fortunate that it…"
Stephen Battye replied to Stephen Battye's discussion Problems with Garmin 500"Flat battery. Replaced it and it's good as new. "
Stephen Battye replied to Stephen Battye's discussion Problems with Garmin 500"Wow, I had no idea about that, thanks Brett."
"P.P.S. when finished riding ensure crank arm with magnet is not next to cadance / speed sensor

Stephen Battye replied to Stephen Battye's discussion Problems with Garmin 500"I've been away from a computer all day until now. Thanks a lot everyone, some great suggestions here. I'll let you know what it is when I've sorted it out. Looks like tomorrow mornings ride though will be gps free."
Martin Turner replied to Stephen Battye's discussion Problems with Garmin 500"It was the 500. Ive disallowed autopause on my unit and it's solved the problem..just have to remember to manually stop the timer if I get off the bike for a coffee."
"P.S. if you use the reset feature you will be required to reset all your display screens, bike details and personal details

CLP replied to Stephen Battye's discussion Problems with Garmin 500"I think it's usually used to auto-pause at traffic lights.. so the default value is zero. however if you were relying on the gps for speed readings then you might get small fluctuations in speed even while stopped, so you can set a…"

- I took up cycling last year while living in Cyprus. Only had a mate's mountain bike, but I got hooked and it wasn't long before I clocked up my first century. There were some massive climbs there. Had to stop weight training to make the hills easier so I've dropped 11kgs. I currently ride a Mongoose chro-mo bike but I've spent a bit on it and just got a Garmin 500 the other day... lovin the data.
