You can append ride files easily in VA; open your original file, then use this command to append others:

After installing VA connect your unit; you should get a prompt to install new FW. Install the new FW.

The new version of VA and new FW should fix your problem.

There is a bug. We hopefully will have a fix on Monday, Jan 6

In Isaac there was an option to use the other file TimeStamp as well as Lat&Long for gps file merge. Aero offers Lat&Long on merge. At times the gps file will be more accurate then (in my case) Newton for date and time. Is there any thought to also merging the Time Stamps in Aero? We will l...

tachycardia ???? Hard reset on PP ?? Yes, I've using the new HR for at least 2 months, with normal readings. This was my last ride of the season . Never had an issue with Garmin. I'm indoors for the winter, and HR strap is performing normal. Ken B. To be clear: I was joking about the tachycardia. I...

Best regards

You will still need a speed/cadence sensor.

Now that I look at previous rides, it's only this file, and was last ride of season . It looked normal in Garminconnect . This is a new (2mos old) Garmin HR strap/monitor. Ken B. Well, maybe you have a severe case of tachycardia :-) Have you used this new strap before with good results? I would har...

My Garmin unit has seen better times so it was time to get a new bike computer. My question is if I need to do a new calibration process or just find the powerpod as a new power sensor in the new computer (igps igs800) and off I go? Thanks in advance for such a silly question Think of powerpod as a...

Hmm...please post ride file.

It looks like your memory in your unit is faulty.

Do a "Device/Erase all ride files" command. This will reset your memory and hopefully fix things.

Press-hold up arrow of Newton to enter Setup.

Scroll with the up arrow until you find the "Eras Data" screen. Click center button. "no" flashes. Click up arrow so "yes" flashes. Click center button to erase data.

No need to use Isaac or VA to erase data!

Your wind sensor is not functioning properly. It is under-reporting wind. This is the cause of your low watts.

At this point I'm done. Been a PP user since the beginning but this just doesn't work have reset it now three times, no previous profiles found when looking via Isaac, and when I set a new profile for a better but not best accuracy hoping to be able to go out and ride, I press the button, spin ever...

Isaac will continue to be available; what's different is that we won't be updating it if OS changes are required.

We will continue to add features to VA. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Looks like our server needs attention. We'll get it fixed...

Previous rides? Even from 3 months ago. there could be another source to recover PP profiles. Old ride files might also have the profile, if nothing else changed on the bike/rider. Or am I mistaken? The first choice would be the PP NVRAM, then a fall back would be old ride files. NVRAM will not nec...

Just work

Yes, profiles are stored in NVRAM.

Do a hard reset of your unit (press-hold button for 12 seconds, until light goes out briefly and then resumes flashing, then let go of button).

Try searching for your profiles afterwards; they should be there.

If you've upgraded to macOS Sequoia, there is an inconvenient problem in Isaac/Mac. When you click on the Download folder: Screenshot 2024 .png You'll see that all of your ride files are greyed-out; that is, you can't open them by clicking on them. Screenshot 2024-.png This is a Sequoia problem both...

Hi everyone, before proceeding with the macOS Squoia upgrade, I wanted to know if Isaac is compatible or if there are problems. Has anyone already tested it? Now on MacOs Sonoma I don't have any problems, apart from some crashes every now and then when importing files from the Powerpod. V.42, just ...
