Message: [QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1197927, member: 68872"] Odd, I responded to this a couple of days ago but it isn't here now.... I am familiar with the "three events at the same mileage" restriction (nicer word than "bug"). I was careful to offset the jumps by 0.01 miles with a speed entry between the events. I have played around with it a bunch more and believe that I have come up with a work around to the problem. It appears that the problem only occurs when there are three or more loops (requiring two or more JUMP to zero) AND the later jumps occur at an earlier mileage then the earlier jumps. So say you had three loops that were approximately 25 miles each, except on the second and third loops they make a slight alteration to the course to send you a slightly different way, making the course just a bit shorter. So the frist loop ends at 25 miles, the second at 24 (the final loop doesn't matter). This will require two JUMPs, one at 25 miles and the other at 24 miles. Since there are WAITs with these the JUMPs get offset to 25.01 miles to 0.01 and 24.01 miles to 0.01. The problem that I have is that at the end of the first loop, when the JUMP is encountered, the DIFFERENCE time starts being calculated as if I had jumped to the end of the second loop instead of the end of the first loop. The odometer is correct, the clock is correct, but the difference time is suddenly saying that I am like 90 minutes early. To work around this problem I fudge the numbers so that the second JUMP occurs at a later relative mileage than the earlier one. So, I program the first JUMP to be at 25.01 to 0.01, and the second JUMP from 25.02 to 0.02 I compensate for the extra mile by reducing the WAIT time. It also apears that the problem only effects the calculation of the difference time. The odometer remains accurate and any RESETs for the second loop get applied at the correct spot, so the odometer is working on the second loop data even though the difference time is working on the third loop info. My work around seems to be a way out, but if I forget I won't discover it until I start the second loop and then it is too late. I have the roll chart strapped to the handlebars next to the Pacemaker and I have been trying to use both(not very sucessfully, however) so if/when that happens I can simply revert back to manual methods.
