One of the things that bugged me about the mostly excellent Garmin 705 was the fact I could not get it to reset after completing a ride. So unless it was synched with a PC it would extend the previous ride rather than starting a new one, even if there was a large amount of time elapsed between the two rides. Even doing a reset would not force it to save the current data and start from zero. Having to sync to a Pc every time was tedious to say the least and the manual gave no clues as to how this could be done. Then browsing the web yesterday the solution was there posted on UltraRob.com at
Garmin Edge 705 Tip – Save the last ride and reset
The solution is simple and kind of intuitive, just press the Lap button for a few seconds and you get a countdown to zero with the message saying Reset in: with a countdown from three down to zero. You have to keep your finger on the Lap button until the countdown has expired.
And that is all that is required, kind of makes you wonder why Garmin didn’t add this to the owners manual and save us all a load of time and effort, this is something that presumably just about everyone who owns one of these devices will want to do?
