This is maybe the 3rd or 4th time this has happened to me in 3 or 4 years, but it really, really sucks when you have to redo your bike profiles and eveyrthing. Between that and the awful, awful, AWFUL bluetooth pairing with recent firmware updates, I am THIS close to saying **** it and throwing it on ebay. They make incredible hardware that is awesome when it works, but gives me more issues with every single firmware update than any iPhone ever has.
The decision to link the 910XT to GC (and only upload via Ant Agent) is frustrating. It also routinely lies about having found satellites and has my run starting across the street in someone else's house and takes over a quarter mile to get accurate (while telling me I'm running much faster or slower than I really am). My 500 will only calibrate my PT while the HR strap is connected (granted, I haven't tried that in almost a year). On and on... they have a big pile of issues. I wish there were another GOOD GPS watch.
