garmin 705

Hi,
Just been on my Turbo and need some eassistance with Garmin ?
I thought that it would give normal information. I have the cadance showing and speed but no distance. Obviously I have not gone anywhere but expected the garmin to calculate distance covered since it was giving me the speed.
Do I need to do anything to get the distance ? or will it just not do it.
Thanks

You have to set a manual wheel size in your bike profile then it will calculate distance, i use bike 3 for my turbo settings,
I am presuming as you have the cadence sensor, that you have the magnet on the rear wheel and the sensor set up correctly

Hi Pragmatix
You presumed correctly :-) I have the speed showing but not distance registers.
What do you need to do to input the wheel size, I thought it set it automatically.

Nig31 I read your post wrong sorry, i missed the speed bit, you should get the distance when on the turbo, did you press the start? mine does distance when on the turbo, not sure why yours doesnt

Thanks for reply, it started reading distance now ! Technology, I never understand it :-)
