Okay I know this has been mentioned before but I need some help.
Since the Garmin connect update a few months ago, my 500 detects a power meter each time I turn it on and asks to calibrate it.
When I am on the trainer or at a race where I turn it on in the parking lot away from other bikes it works perfect.
However this year I did a REV3 race and just last weekend IMMT. Saturday bike check-ins for a Sunday race.
When I turn the computer on in transition , it detects a power meter, but the calibration numbers are crazy. Normally like -200, but in these to cases -23300.
I have tried to turn it off during the race for 10 minutes, spin the cranks backwards 5-6 times to set the Quarq and it just does not read power.
As the race wears on the power number jump around but crazy high. My avg watts for IMMT was 3617!! The cadence works fine.
I sure I am missing something and I thought after REV 3 if I walked my bike into a corner (away from other bikes) and turned it on there it would work. Sunday morning it calibrated but the number was 4000 and it did not work for the race.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
