I’ve reached out to Garmin, but haven’t got a concrete answer on why it’s occurring. I did notice one oddity with the swim map afterwards, where it re-drew a portion of the course as a direct line:
#Garmin update update
I used the new update with multisport mode last weekend and noticed no issues with the watch during the event. This functionality applicable to all supported ANT+ device accessories (power meters, footpods, speed/cadence sensors, etc…). Quarq has done this with their newest power meters, but that’s about it. Now only if I can get other companies to actually add the sensor ID to the back of their units (i.e. This is huge for pairing in situations where you may be near others with ANT+ equipment. Slowly, the entire industry (beyond just Garmin) is now enabling this on devices.
One notable ‘nice touch’ feature that’s been added is the inclusion of specifying ANT+ sensor ID’s, similar to what the Edge 800 allows. This is also in the pile of items I sent over for feedback on. Speaking of odd, I can’t quite get multi-sport workouts to import into Garmin Connect, though they do go into TrainingPeaks just fine. It’s plausible that water from the (openwater) swim somehow messed with the altimeter…but that’s sorta the point of a triathlon swimming watch. But, depending on how accurate that initial altimeter fix is, that can affect the unit’s overall accuracy. Keep in mind the unit has a barometric altimeter, so in general it should be more accurate than a typical GPS altimeter. First, is the original elevation information: The run was flat-out missing elevation data. Both elevation maps on both appeared odd in TrainingPeaks. Looking at the elevation calibration and corrections – I figured the Escape from Alcatraz bike and run courses yesterday would be a good test (they are constant up and down). Though, there’s not really any handy table to decode this ( Idea for Garmin: Publish a super-simple page/table on your site that allows us to decode this, stick it in the support section somwhere…anywhere). I was able to validate the 3/10/30-second power smoothing, which is in my opinion critical to using any device for power meter pacing.Īlso of note is that the unit now shows exact details of the power meter it’s connected to. In many cases, I don’t have a power meter any longer (the SRAM RED 2012 Quarq went back) that supports left/right power – so I can’t test that. You can go for the quadfecta and all them all to one page: You can add these data fields just like any other data fields (to cycling): Additionally, you get left/right balance for the small number of power meters that support it.
These fields include TSS (Training Stress Score), NP (Normalized Power), IF (Intensity Factor), and kJ (Kilojoules, though not really exclusive to TP). First up, is the addition of the TrainingPeaks metrics. But since I’ve been using the update for a bit of time before today, I figured I’d share what a few of the new fields look like. Of course, that’s barely even a portion of the entire list. – Added page to allow user to view/select ANT+ sensor ID they want to connect with Changes made to also reduce chance of extra lengths. – Multiple changes made to pool swim which help reduce chance of missed lengths. Rests are no longer included in the average pace calculation. – Changed average pace information for pool swim.
– Added support for 3, 10, and 30s power smoothing. – Added support for left right power balance. – Added new power metrics (Training Stress Score (TSS), Intensity Factor (IF), Normalized Power (NP), kJ). – Fixed and improved several aspects of elevation calibration and calculations. – Fixed several problems causing shutdowns during biking and running activities. Within the larger list (included at bottom of post), the are ones I consider of particular note – or ones that either impact me or I’ve heard have impacted you: Note that the FR310XT will still not be getting the updated metrics. This brings the unit inline with the updates that the Edge 800 received last fall, and the Edge 500 received just a few short weeks ago. A few hours ago Garmin released an update that enables the TrainingPeaks metrics of TSS/IF/NP, as well as adds a whole crapton of other items and fixes.
