Powerpod V3 stops talking to Garmin
Posted: Mon Oct 07, 2019 7:54 am
Hi I am having a regular issue with my powerpod and thought I had better raise this as I may need a replacement.
I have set the powerpod up on 2 bikes and a Garmin Edge 820 (brand new)
The setups are both fine and the powerpod generally syncs after about 20 seconds when I start a ride on each bike.
However, after between 4-6 weeks (this has now happened 3 times) the powerpod stops connecting to my Garmin. On the 2 previous occasions the only fix has been to delete the powerpod from Garmin and re-find it which then means I have to faff with the in/out ride to get it to start working again. I am not sure why this is happening but it is frustrating, what makes it worse is that it occurred on Saturday when it was working absolutely fine for 2 hours of my ride. I stopped after a long climb for some food and drink and when I restarted my ride the powerpod again refused to talk to the Garmin so I only had power data for half of the ride!
I tried the powerpod on my other bike today when i commuted to work and again it was not talking to the Garmin, so I am wondering if my powerpod has a faulty ANT sensor.
Can you please let me know what you recommend?
Thanks
Carl
