Garmin Edge 800 no gps signal

[Stewart69uk]

I was at the sthil umko classic today and 7km in I noticed that my garmin 800 had stopped counting my speed and distance I turned it off and on again it started working again then 2 km further in it stopped again , the cadence and heart rate was fine just the GPS when I turned in back on the signal was full ,has anyone else had this problem, did anyone record the race on a Garmin GPS would love to see the assent and descent, I only did 25km. Bit pissed off it didn't record trying to keep an eye on my progress .

Can't help with the garmin bit, but i also did the ride, but the 45km!

Was a stinker, but not too hard, good workout though.

 

Hoping to figure out how to work my bryton 35 working, i have no idea how to get it going, then hopefully if you have the same issue at the next event i can see whats the deal with signal.

 

Cheers Ryno

Yeah I'm doing the Lynford clover classic 40km race on Sunday so will see if I have a problem or not

Where u in a forest or covered up area?

[Stewart69uk]

No the first time I noticed it was in the open , the race didn't have a lot of covered area , when I connected it to Garmin connect the GPS dropped out 3 or 4 times

...when I connected it to Garmin connect the GPS dropped out 3 or 4 times

 

What exactly do you mean by this?

 

When you are connected to Garmin Connect ... there will be no GPS signal no matter how hard you try.

I think he meant, after reviewing the recorded trip, he could see from the graph that the signal dropped out 3-4 times :-)

[Stewart69uk]

That's exactly what I meant , so it wasn't a once off it cut out 3 or 4 times on the ride

Did the Lynford Clover Classic This weekend and it was faultless, maybe the satellite was having a bad day ?
