Help with Garmin Edge 705

[mercurystorm]

rode again today, ascent 0, descent 0... but on the connect.garmin it was fine

Flex the Garmin 500 is the business! 'Nuff said!

 

Does it use the same handlebar mount as the 705?

I have had the same issue since upgrading to the latest firmware - it

NEVER happened before.

 

I find if the unit stops registering ascent I switch it off and on again

and this usually kick starts it again. I must admit it happens so often

now I have stopped worry about the frikkin' reading.

 

The good news is that it only seems to affect the ascent reading. The

profile map still works and all the elevation data is still stored and

can be transferred to your PC.

 

Garmin really do seem to cock up their firmware from time to time...

Had (have) the same problem. They told me to do a hard reset (hold in the menu button and switch on) and then confirm to overwrite all user data.

 

I did last night, (it kept my courses and history) so it was OK.

 

Will test it again and let you know if it works

Hi

 

Works 100%.

 

Just do a hard reset as described above and when asked to overwrite user data, choose yes.

 

You have set it again for Metric, and reset your home position. But i've not lost any personal data (although it is always best to back up...)

 

Cheers

Got my 500 on Friday

What a user friendly easy to set up easy to use piece of kit

Cant belive a device giving me so much data is so user friendly very impressed.

I had been saving for the 705 really impressed with this 500 does everything I wanted for half the price

I have done 3 rides and evrything works spot on ascent /descent cadence whole package is faultless so far
