I have recently noticed, when I zoomed my track to the maximum that I have – at the start of my run – a couple of very short deep red sections of my run. Those are at the beginning of the track and seem to be the adjustments done by GPS, not actual running speeds. These totally disrupt the overall color scheme of my run, which is subsequently only blue, despite there rounds I completed faster that was the oveall average of the run. This need to be fixed by garmin.

In reply to K allen. This is the same for me, only blue and deeper blue. I feel depressed deapite running faster ;) This feature is cool, I would allow the user to set his own interval for slow and fast.

The first time I noticed it I had all the colours on my run. Subsequently I have only blue. My pace has actually improved so I have no idea what it is judging me against.

Is there a way to turn it off & just show the old way? I feel judged. LOL

In reply to JR Cook. Not that I'm aware of. My Forerunner 935 started showing the gradients as soon as the feature was enabled by Garmin.

I noticed mine only shows the new gradient colors on the Activities that were preprogrammed with my Instinct Tactical watch. The Activities that I created still show the map in the old way, with a simple red line.
Is there a feature I need to turn on in my custom Activities?

is it compared to your virtual partner? My partner is set to a fairly slow pace (haven’t updated it in years) and I always ‘pass’ the partner in the first half mile. Consequently my map only ever shows orange yellow and red. I get green only on my slowest warm downs (near the partner pace)

I think it is compared to some longer term average, as otherwise all colors should be present. I made runs all in blue and others all in green, orange, red.

In reply to Danny Misiak. The overall pace for that particular run.

To what is it compared. My overall pace or the pace for the current track?
