SportTracks vs. +3 Network: Inconsistency in Stats?

[kfergos]

I got the socks, too, but they were medium and too big for my feet, just like the previous pair I got from them. ...Which meant my Mom got some great socks for her birthday! Generally I'm loving +3 though.

I figured out the statistics inconsistency: SportTracks, at least the way I have it set up, doesn't exclude stopped time. So if my ride takes a total of 5 hours and 15 minutes, but I spend 30 of those minutes stopped, I actually only took 4 hours and 45 minutes. But SportTracks doesn't take that into account, and this becomes more noticeable the longer your stopped. So today I averaged 14.9 mph but it said I went 13.7 mph including stopped time. The +3 Network just takes the info straight from the Garmin, or it's smart enough to exclude stopped time, so it matches what I expect. I'm not sure if there's a way to make SportTracks smarter about that, but at least it's explained.

SportTracks -> Settings -> Display -> Analysis

That gives your options for including/excluding stopped time and watch pauses; cadence and power cutoff; and degree of smoothing of each variable.

You also have a few options for adjusting smoothing and auto-pause directly in the Garmin units, but the procedure varies depending on which model you have.
