Thanks for posting this, SK! :D

Maybe it's just me, but on this new release I can't see "average speed" anymore when looking at an exercise curve, it is always "pace". Is there some setting somewhere I need to set saying I want to see it? I don't remember having to do anything specific like that in the previous reelase... Hep me! :confused:

(That's especially for you, SK :) )

Oh - I am rereading the original post - hmm - maybe this release is a fix for the release I downloaded last month? And perhaps the average speed was a bug, since corrected? I'll check it out...

[SadieKate]

BZ, I have the same question! I haven't yet downloaded this release but the pace vs speed thing in the last one is awful. It makes me to maths to figure out my fastest speed. Moronic!

I can't quite interpret whether this release fixes that or you're just hoping that it will. Hep me, ok? You on it? :p

[bikerz]

Well - I downloaded the new release and it seems to treat the pace/average speed issue just like the previous "new" release - in other words - average speed is not on the curve anymore. You can see it if you select Selection Info, but I really liked seeing on it the selection and summary data area. Harumph. :mad:

Maybe a tech support email is in order - I'll try to send one out tomorrow if I have a chance. I guess I'm glad it's not just me missing some really obvious thing!

Thanks for the heads-up on this SK. Shame they didn't fix the average speed issue though.

[SadieKate]

Welcome back, Snappy!

I just emailed Polar with the mins per mile vs miles per hour questions (I'm sure it will be the same answer for kilometres :p ) so we'll wait and see.

I also emailed them about being able to see accumulated feet climbed during a ride. I have a s720i and I can't figure out how many total feet I've climbed until I download the exercise to a PC. It would seem that both Polar and Garmin have problems understanding that a lot of us take multi-day trips and don't have a PC available in the back of beyond.

Got it!

Select Options/ person properties / measurement units.
You will see PACE with a dropdown arrow.
Click on the dropdown arrow and select MPH (or whatever choice you prefer)

Yay!!! It worked! You're a genius!

(Let's face it SK, you're a total computer nerd!)

[SadieKate]

Are you home or checking this forum from abroad? That's sick. Go have fun.

The answer came from Polar, not less-than-genius-SK.

[bikerz]

Yep, I'm checking the forum from London! It is sick, I guess. It's pretty late, and I'm at that point of so being tired I can't sleep. It's fun being back in London, but wowie-zowie - is it expensive! It makes SF look like the deal of the century.

I've got a funny bike photo I'll post tomorrow - thanks for tracking down that answer from Polar!

Cheerio!

Ta-ta!

TrekHawk needs some good Irish Breakfast Tea, BTW.:p
