Gadget Central!

Hi there fellow gadget lovers (put on geek specs and anorak).

Just been out with the cadence unit for the Garmin - which seems to work fine. It doesn't seem as accurate as the Cateye that I left on the bike, as it doesn't update the display as often, but it seems pretty much on the money other than that - and of course the big plus is that I can upload the data to the computer. I went about 0.7 of a mile, so not enough to get any significant lap data, but I did however produce the following graph:



Now - anyone know how to adjust the axes on the graph? It seems daft having the cadence one go down to -50 (pedalling backwards??) or the min/mile going up to 40, just because I started out from zero. Maybe the trick is to press the start button once I've got going? Wouldn't make much difference to the stats but would improve the graph. Not sure about the cadence though!!

It was only a three minute ride, so not too strenuous!
