Hi all

 

This is my first post so forgive me if I'm re-hashing old ground.

 

Three concerns:

1) The GPS has been slow to pick up in cloudy/overcast weather, grossly underestimating the speed and therefore distance covered for some time into a run before sorting itself out - anyone else have this issue?

2) My Floors Climbed is no longer being calculated/recorded - how do I fix this?

3) What mode are people using for Cycling? I tend to use 'Spinning' and rely on my bike GPS for speed/distance, who else does the same?

 

Points 1 & 2 are of more interest, specifically point two as that seems likely to be a system error somewhere along the line meaning Floors climbed just cut out.

 

Many thanks.

Adam.
