I see that some of you are able to get up to eight screens while riding. How, can someone advise me how to view these screens? I see my cadence and heart rate in my history; however I wasn't able to see my cadence or heart rate while I was riding. I wore the forerunner on my wrist; surely this can't make a difference?

I'm riding some 200 mile events. Can anyone give me a lead. I'm having an awful time with this quest.

I've haven't experienced any of the problems either of you have. The only thing that is a bit annoying is the fact when i'm putting the heart rate monitor on in the beginning i always have to keep reapplying the water to the sensor bit but sure its always been working when i've been out for a run!

Sometimes over actual ascent by thousands of feet. I have been in touch with Garmin via e-mail and they haven't been able to explain the problem yet. When I download the data, the elevation profile of my run/ride is accurate but the total feet of climbing is always wrong.

ISSUES: • Calorie calculator is completely wrong – I tried communicating with customer support – they emailed this absurd answer about not resetting the workout. • Actual Speed (running and bike) is inaccurate. I have a few times done a 3 mile run on a track at 7mpm, 7:30 and 8:00 mpm. Without exception my speed during the run was wrong although all quarter mile times were constant. Interestingly enough the pace for every mile was only off approximately 10 seconds. Same issue with biking. • In case you are training for ironman, do not expect the battery to last for more than six hours. HR data the most irregular I have ever seen. • Best of luck trying to reach support by phone or email. “May the Force be with you” • I am returning mine asap.
