A similar issue happened Sunday, at that time I cleared out all rides and did a firmware update.
No idea about Power2Max. But the Stages caused data issues with the Edge 510 because the ANT+ signal the Stages sends out is weak. Any disruption in the flow of data from the power meter could cause the 510 to freak out. Frequently it would lock up and fail to record data- not just power data but any data. The fundamental problem was in the quality of the data being sent to the Edge 510 but the response of the head unit to the bad data made things worse.
I troubleshot my problems for months with both Garmin & Stages. Three Edge 510 units and one Edge 1000. Dozens of cycles of replacing units, updating firmware, recording data with multiple head units simulataneously, upgrading from the 510 to 1000. Two Stages power meters, one refurbished by Stages once and the other twice. The only thing that solved my issues was replacing the power meters with SRMs. Then all the data issues stopped overnight.
If you've had the Power2Max for awhile & know it's not the power meter, I'd call Garmin. They will attempt to blow you off (theyll say it's the power meter) and good chance they'll tell you at least sone wrong stuff. But that's your next step beyond the firmware upgrade & clearing ride history.
If there's any troubleshooting to do with the power meter- firmware upgrade, replace battery, etc- do that too.
Good luck. There are a lot of weird Garmin glitches that seem to just go away on their own. You could hope for that too.
