For rides that went over about 48 miles the map would start dropping off the start point.
First ride of 50 miles:
Garmin data:
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/190167208 Shows my distance correctly 50.82 miles but the map shows my start point into my ride not where I started...resulting in this on Strava:
http://app.strava.com/rides/11089282 which has my distance ridden as 49.1
I did a Metric Century that started and ended at same point here is the Garmin Data:
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/192007318 61.32 miles but again the map start gets cut off and here is the Strava data:
http://app.strava.com/rides/11564513 which has my mileage as 45.2 miles.
I was told it was a memory issue and to make sure the history was clear before doing a long ride and so I tried that recently....
Did 51.6 miles and here is the Garmin data:
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/220408871 Map once again cut off at the start point....resulting in this on Strava:
http://app.strava.com/rides/21300829 which shows only 48.1 miles
