My Garmin switched itself off mid ride. Any ideas why?

[ColinJ]

I cannot be adamant (not the singer) but dont think I stopped it. I did have a few drink stops and paused it a few times.
I will take those points on board and ensure I dont make that error.
Thanks for that.

Hang on... pausing it = stopping it!

I've done it a few times on my Edge 500. It usually chirps at me to tell me that I forgot to start/restart it after a cafe stop but I sometimes miss hearing it because of traffic noise.

It’s why I work

I thought you worked so your taxes would keep my pension going

 

[Dave7]

Perhaps you were going too slow and it fell asleep.

Assuming you are serious.....nah, as per normal for a potholed Pennine Way.

To my knowledge I did not fail to restart it......but as my wife would say, I have been known to be wrong

It's a computer, they occasionally crash. It can also be caused by GPS signal jamming in the vicinity.

You’re not 72 then, more like 92

Not serious, Dave. Gentle ribbing.

They do sometimes crash, all of them.

You were lucky I've had to make my GPS out of two tin cans, a lodestone, and silicon extracted from sand

 

[Blue Hills]

Throw it away and buy a map. They keep going for ever and they show the entire county at a glance.

the entire county?
A tad parochial?
