I generally agree. But then, please explain this 1000-foot pit I seem to have run into and out of. Coincidentally (or not), this is right where UBC's particle accelerator is. Hmm.
It is fine to me - the pit goes away when RA corrects the data.

Uh, what??
I hope the whiz kid who came up with those headphones is flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog s*!@ out of Hong Kong!
How does that pay? I'm kicking around a career change...

Check this to replace the GPS's device-calculated elevation with an elevation that is looked up from a geocode database.
When I click on the "resample elevation" in your log entry's map (last icon to right on map toolbar), it gets rid of your gulch of doom and uses the reference elevation.
mta: This even works in Canada. They have elevation up there, it's just in imperial units.
Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
Ah - got it. Thanks!

Now I see why you're tired and confused.
Sucked down and spit out by a particle beam mid run, that'd do anyone in.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Attach your Garmin to a proton doing laps of the accelerator and you'd make those folks who wear their Garmin on a plane really look like slackers.
The process is the goal.
Men heap together the mistakes of their lives, and create a monster they call Destiny.
Yeah, but too bad the Garmin only samples every 10 sec. or so.
... and you'd make those folks who wear their Garmin on a plane really look like slackers.
You've actually seen this?
Consistently Slow
Fing Ant Agent will not unpload my damn workouts. Transfer keeps failing. I'm sick as hell of the Garmin Ant Agent bullshit. Yesterday I tried to update my wifes FR60's firmware. The update went to the Ant Agent, then I had to pair it about a half a dozen times to get it to load it onto her watch. It transferred 100% and said 0 remained, but stalled there for half an hour until I closed the Ant Agent. Now today, I couldn't upload any data from my watch because it kept prompting that it had a new version of firmware to upload to the FR60, although it had already been done.

I had to go in and remove the Ant Agent and then upload the new version to get it to work. It is still slow but it does work now.
Run until the trail runs out.

That's really too bad, because it was such a good idea otherwise.

Dude. Time dilation.
I don't know what you guys are complaining about, my Garmin 205 works great the 10 or 15 times a year that I use it. I mean it's kind of quirky and Garmin in general makes really "interesting" software, but hey it's a $160 running watch that communicates with satellites orbiting Earth. Anytime you deal with outer space things get a bit dicey. Did everything go perfectly on Apollo 13? No, but they pissed in their space suits, used a notebook binder and some duct tape, and a little good old American ingenuity and everybody made it home in one piece.
When you mix a low tech activity like running with a high tech enterprise like outer space you gotta take the good with the bad.
