It does mean that walking the bike gets recorded as distance and I don't get funny hops and skips in the route.

I suppose I could turn it on, leave it set and zero, and then know how long I've paused, but I'm not sure that I care.

Avg speed when riding door to door through traffic is always going to give you variables so just pick one and stick with it.

Editing: yeah, what Oakleaf said. Word for word.
Yea... that was a total PITA when I switched bikes on my holiday camping trip. I'm able to take the roadie plus the mtb cuz a club has a nice route map outside the park. Then I did remember to switch to "bike 2" for the mtb when trail riding. BUT, as I approached the first tight switchbacks and really slowed... the Garmin was doing a lot of beeping. Oh, great I thought... the autopause thing is not working so great here at 3mph. It needs to be zero, or not at all. On the trail I was mainly intereted in it measuring the grades. Plus, the compass is nice too. I'm waiting on my mount order for that bike so it's been riding in the Camelback so far when in the woods.
