hellen Aug 2014 8:12am, 11 Aug 2014 14,653 posts	0 hellen Hi A q about this watch Can you use it to manually count your laps so press lap button each lap? I know that's not really the point but was thinking of using it (or something else) for an indoor track where I know the length of the track so tell it the track is 200m the every lap press lap and the garmin tells me total distance ? Will it do this?
GregP Aug 2014 8:54am, 11 Aug 2014 74,931 posts	0 GregP You'd have to press the lap button twice - it's a weird lap-and-pause arrangement

hellen Aug 2014 2:34pm, 12 Aug 2014 14,655 posts	0 hellen I have a lap watch but I want to know pace and distance whilst running not after. I am thinking of doing an indoor 24 hour race you see and my Garmin won't work indoors and as I will slow down a lot the foot pod thing won't be very accurate
Tomsmum Aug 2014 8:41pm, 18 Aug 2014 1,227 posts	0 Tomsmum What have I done wrong? All of a sudden my watch is showing Total in swimming mode and not distance..
Winded Sep 2014 2:59pm, 18 Sep 2014 2,427 posts	0 Winded This might be the wrong place to ask. The new Garmin Connect only seems to let me see 8 lengths. The "swim graph" part of the page has 4 lengths and it lets me scroll another 4 with my mouse but then defaults back to the start of the swim. The old version had(has) some buttons to scroll right and left through however many lengths. Am I doing it wrong? Is this a safari/macbook problem?
