We'll third time out with this and I don't like it , I've set it to start a lap but I'd done 5 miles and it was saying I've done 1.45 ml ? Reading the sparce instruction manual and I,m still none the wiser. I've checked on U tube for a tutorial but found nothing .
All I can think is that it could be faulty ? Any ideas

Have you connected it to the computer and downloaded the updates off the Garmin site. I had to do that with my Garmin Dakota before it would get a satellite lock it kept saying I was in the middle of the Pacific.Fig rolls: proof that god loves cyclists and that she wants us to do another lap0

Done that thanks ..... It's giving distance in Ft for some reason ?0

It does until it gets to about 0.2 miles, when it switches to miles.
Has it got a decent satellite lock? Are you putting it somewhere with a good view of the sky (ie not chucking it in a bag etc)?0 -
Yes on my handlebars ..... Thanks I've done a reset so will try it again next weekend and I'll report back
Thanks guys !0 -
If that doesn't work it sounds faulty. Should lock on within a few seconds, IIRC it supports GLONASS to improve accuracy. You may get a bit of dropping out in really thick tree cover, but on the road I find that manifests itself as a slight drop in speed momentarily, and that's about it!0
