Understanding Segments on a Garmin Fitness Device
Segments are virtual race courses created by users that rank personal results against others in the Garmin Connect and Strava communities.
Several Garmin Edge devices have the ability to accept and store cycling segments in the device. Garmin Edge devices that support segments:
- Edge 510
- Edge 520
- Edge 810
- Edge 820
- Edge 1000
- Edge 1030
These Edge devices will hold up to 100 Garmin Connect or Strava segments. A software update may be required for the Edge 510/810/1000 to accept live Strava segments.
In addition, the Forerunner 735XT and 935 support up to 100 Strava cycling and running segments. Neither will support Garmin Connect cycling segments.
To achieve the most accurate timed segment on your device, we recommend the following settings on your device:
- Enable "Every Second" data recording
- This setting is generally located under the system settings of your device. See your owner's manual for details
- Disable Auto Pause
- this setting is generally located under your activity profile settings. Auto Pause has the potential to enable itself if your are going slow enough or in an area of poor GPS reception
