Timer Auto-Stop on Garmin

I would like to turn the Time Auto-Stop On on my Garmin 1040

It’s mostly just a mental thing. 90% of my rides are on the road. I try to pick routes with minimal stops but in an hour I could be anywhere from 2 to 7 minutes at red lights - depending on how I hit them.

I like to look at my overall speed and time (especially on one specific route I take to work) and beat it. I know speed is so variable with wind and what I’m wearing, etc etc…but I have a route to work that’s 30km and I just get a kick out of getting a good time (speed).

and tbh when the timer is running, I can see a little bit of yellow in red lights (if you know what I mean). when the timer stops I feel like I just ride safer.

I completely get the MPA calculations will factor in time at red lights etc.

how much will I mess things up turning on the auto-stop on the timer?

Auto-pause is the first thing I disable on a Garmin unit. :smiley:

i’ve never dug around Garmin Connect.

would rather have everything in one spot - but I guess that will never happen.
