Good afternoon John,
Yesterday a 100km ride and today a 55km ride with my road-bike. PowerPod V3 and FW 9.00. I started a calibration ride because I wanted a new profile for my road-bike with a TT-mount. Since I use the TT-mount I got no correct heartrate data (mostly one value 225 during the whole ride), so after FW 9.00 I wanted to correct this. I used "Better"in the Setup and de count to 50 worked, I stopped and turned the bike. The count to 100 worked and then the "real watts" on the Garmin Edge 1030 Plus were shown.
When finishing the ride I saw on my phone in Garmin Connect that there where changes in the CdA every 5km. On my PC I saw in Isaac that there where several files for the ride; every 5km a new file. On my Garmin Edge 1030 Plus I have a lap for distance 5km, I think this will be of influence.
Today I did the 55km ride and the same happened. The heartrate problem is also not solved. Yesterday during the 100km ride I used the handlebar mount. Today I used the TT-mount.
I have not changed the other profiles for my MTB and the Tacx-trainer, they work fine.
I am sure I am doing something wrong. I did not had this experience before using FW 9.00. Can you give me some help ?
With kind Regards,
Paul

1) your unit is operating in profile 4, which is an Aero profile (apparently, your particular device has the CdA key in it)
2) In profile 4, a separate ride file is created every time the lap button is hit. Your Garmin is sending lap markers automatically, causing your unit to create a new ride file
3) In profile 4, HR readings are replaced by CdA readings. You are seeing a constant HR of 200, which translates into your default CdA of 0.380
The easy fix is to switch to profile 1 or 2. Your ride file problem will go away and you will see HR readings in the ride file.
