Since I never ride in circles, I use the ‘lap’ feature to pace my efforts on the climbs. Since you already detect the climbs automatically, it would be useful to automatically start a new lap when the ‘summit climb’ starts.
Another option is to add “summit average” fields in the “summit” page - “summit average power”, “summit average normalized power”, “summit average HR”. But I think this will be more difficult to implement.
By resetting the lap I can reuse the existing “lap average” fields.
100% agree!
absolutely agree
It must be said that in the 2 climbing pages, it is not even possible to create a lap by pressing the button.
I don’t even understand what the point of this feature is if you can’t see your performance on the climb.
I was going to make a post about this, but seems like somebody already did.
I found extremely annoying that the LAP button disappears on certain pages.
It’s a time critical function, I cannot be expected to scroll a couple pages to go find the LAP button again.
For the auto detection of climbs would also make perfect sense to automatically mark a LAP.
I’ve jumped on this thread as I don’t really feel my post merits starting a new one, but I hope someone will at least agree with me (even if there is no fix).
I have a Roam v1 which I am generally very pleased with. One of my very few issues with it is that if I have to stop on a Summit segment then it often seems to assume that the climb is over and I no longer have the gradient profile or any of my specifically chosen climbing metrics available. It’s really quite annoying, especially in a situation such as today where I had to wait for a little while at a roundabout at the very bottom of a climb I had specifically targeted.
Anyone able to empathise?
Yes, this is definitely annoying to me also. Sometimes, when I get to the end of the summit it does note that, but from where I stopped to that point it didn’t recognize that i was on a climb. Mine is a Roam 2.
Please implement an “Auto lap on Segment” option for both Summit and Strava segments. There already exists an “Auto lap on interval” option for Planned Workouts, it makes total sense to also have this option for Summit & Strava segments.
Having to switch to a page with a Lap button while starting a Segment in order to have Data such as Average Power and Heart Rate while climbing is really not user-friendly. Also odd that there is no Lap button functionality on both Summit and Strava segment pages in order to have at least the option to start a new lap by pushing the button at the beginning of a new Segment.
This would really become a strong argument to switch to another GPS brand in my case. I don’t seem to be the only one who really wants this:
Totally agree — using auto lap at the start of a climb would be a game-changer for pacing. Great point about reusing lap metrics too, that feels like a clean win without reinventing the UI. Would love to see this!
