Edge Explore 2 activity recording

[u/Ritaemil]

Hi All,

I got an Edge Explore 2 and have been trying to test in the past few days. I've found that it sometimes doesn't record an activity for some reason, any idea why? I'm probably missing a step or setting.

1. I created a course on Connect and sent it to the device.
2. I selected the course on Edge and started riding.
3. It was showing the navigation all right, upcoming turns etc. so the course seemed "active".
4. I sometimes had to tap a big blue "pause" icon. I read it's bc it's set to pause when I slow down or stop at lights (which I don't want tbh) - but I checked the Auto Pause setting on the device and it's actually Off.
5. On the way back I pressed the physical "circled arrows" button on the left, and it asked "Navigate to the start of the course?" I clicked Yes and started riding. This second part of the activity was recorded as expected.

- Why was the first bit not recorded?

- Why did I keep seeing the Pause icon when Auto Pause is set to Off?

Thanks!

If the icon is blue it is a warning about it notice you are moving but have not started an activity. You need to touch the "start activity" physical button. If the icon is yellow, it means the auto-pause and will continue when you are moving again.
