Hendrik vd Walt Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Hi - My Garmin Edge 800 has now on three occoasions jumped thousands of KM's while riding - Going from say 23km distance to 4798 and then continues to count!! It did it twice in Ntal at Hula trails and the again this morning in Lynwood PTA Anyone else ever experienced similar issues?

MTB_Roadie Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) is it 32GI or something else probably 32gi Accelerator, explains the sudden gain of distance? Edited November 22, 2011 by MTB_Roadie

Behan Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 26 inch Ladies and Gents we have a winner!!! 26" IS faster!!!
scotty Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Not sure what the reference to 26 or 29 is, unless Garmin does not work on one or the other.
Arkadion Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I've had this too on one occasion, landed up on Morocco for a split second If I remember correctly, I took a large jump that day, can't confirm if knocks or sudden accel/deceleration could affect the readings.Perhaps it plays havoc with the way it interprets the altitude/speed/distance?
Tiny K Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I see it has been posted but as most will suggest if you Google the problem, they will say '1st make sure you have the latest updates for the unit'. I had the same thing. Did it twice. Both times plotting a point in Antarctica! What was the distance jump? My first one was just under 15000Km, the other just over 14000Km. Makes for an awesome average speed though I just uploaded the activity to mapmyride and edited the route to move the stray point.
