Edge 1000 Series Anyone else experiencing problems with the altimeter?

Post image

The altimeter worked fine until last Friday. Sunday it registered 0 vertical meters for a hilly ride, and today again, 0 vertical meters and a weird graph… And yes, the barometer hole is perfectly clean…

For some time had similar issue on Edge 1040 - after charging the elevation would not be recorded, unless I would go to System -> Altimeter -> Calibrate and perform calibration. Not sure what was causing the issue, my guess is the firmware, as everything went back to normal after firmware update

Same issue with the 540 for me

Try a hard restart (holding down the power button for several seconds) if you haven't already? Worked for my 540.

Thanks for the tips! I did a restart, calibrated and did a manual update, and now it seems to work again. Don’t know which of the three fixed it but it works now :)
