Edge 200, odometer?

[PLuKE]

Hi

I have received a Edge 200, and I see you can't add your own mileage from what I did on my old cycling computer.

As its a basic device, it doesn't do what the upper models do.

To change the odometer from what u have been reading, you have to change it in the files on the device, with a program to unpack the file, change and repack. But unsure how to do this?!

If it worries you that much just wait until you ride under some tree's. Can you not just keep a note of them.

Oh, poor signal then?

I can and have. I just wanted to keep it on the device so I can see it on the fly.

You may find under tree's your speed will be 13mph.

Open the file in notepad, change the number - save

It may need to be placed/copied to the Newfiles folder (and I can't remember if the 200 even has one

Brilliant, my speed is going to go up....I knew I got a 200 for a good reason

I don't think the 200 has that. I know it's in the Total folder, open that in Notepad and its load of random digits etc.

Thanks

It looks (from a bit of Googling I just did) like the Edge 200 uses the .FIT file format, which is binary, not text. The only way you can update the odometer value is to use a software application to modify the file. Text editors won't be any use with these, sorry.

Try this.

If you go to the garmin connect webpage, you can do a manual input,
You could name it old miles, give the file a time and date, put your miles down and save it.

i think the OP wants to have a record of these on his edge 200 as if he has already been using GC then it will already have all his files and miles
