Gradient Information Missing in Garmin Connect
I recently purchased my first cycling computer (Garmin Edge 530), which has worked very well so far. The issue I am having is with Garmin Connect, as it does not show any type of gradient information in the stats for a given ride. It shows elevation, speed, and temperature data only.
This seems odd, as the device captures gradients during a ride and I would think that this would be included in the ride stats. It would also be helpful when creating courses, as it would help me plan them based on my abilities. Having some benchmark data to monitor progress with climbs of varying categories would be helpful as well.
Is there a setting I need to turn on to be able to see the gradient data in Garmin Connect? I should note that on the device, I can see climb information for a given course, but it only appears to show average gradient.
Thank you for any guidance you can provide on this issue.
