you have to hold the face of the device perfectly perpendicular to Garmin’s stationary satellite. You should have received a 10" brass sextant with your purchase and if not, contact Garmin immediately.
Mine works fine…
“Obviously NOT made for the serious multi-sport athlete”
That is funny a “serious multi-sport athlete” that sits indoors on a stationary bike & a treadmill… HAHAHAHAHAHA!
If you were “serious” and an actual “multi-sport athlete”, you would be outside & more than just running and biking.
Go outdoors & it should work just fine.

On my back!?
But I’m usually on the bottom …
Maybe it’s
multi-sport resistant.

Think harder!
Did you attach the required satellite dish? Good lord, how do you expect the electro-bits will make it up into space without the required 8 foot antenna and tracking system?
Sheesh!

Sell
Since I don’t go anywhere,just to help you out,I would be willing to give you half price for it. At least you would get some of your money back
Return it for the Garmin Forehead 666
Stick it on your forehead and it’ll implant a sense of speed in your mind. Want to go faster, just think harder and the Garmin Forehead will implement a sense of speed.

Attach it to
your foot. Then it’ll read something!
Strap it to your chest…
…if it reads zero, you’re legally dead.
Try using it
on a staionary rowing machine and see how it works. It is possible the slaemans sold you the model designed just for paddling.
Inches per minute…
Do you really think “2…2…2…2…2…2” is going to help him in his training?
it’s obvious

the treadmill is running in the opposite direction of the earth's rotation, cancelling out your progress.
Try moving the treadmill outside, and place it perpendicular to the earth's rotation. Use the compass on your gps to make sure.
Electronic do-dads, often hopeless
Sounds like the hand-held digital anemometer my loving wife got me for my birthday. The money would have been better spent on a good (or even mediocre) bottle of Pinot Noir.
Next we can try
duct taping the fishfinder transducer to the rubber ducky to read the water temps in the hottub and find that step. Use the extra bits of tape to fashion the beanie for your GPS lazer signal booster.
This is why,
I bolted my treadmill to the front of my kayak. Now when I paddle I know just how fast I am going, and it is very accurate!-)
What a moron…
And you all wonder why these people irritate me eith their lack on common sense.
captain must be the leader?

My GPS takes 2 - AA batteries
What size and how many does the treadmill take?
Paddlin’ on
G_K
it may not be the batteries
somtimes there’s a little piece of plastic that you have to pull out before the battery will make contact
Great thread responses.
I’m laughing til I’m crying.
Most amused that coffee doesn’t seem to get it.
I liked the reynolds wrap swan antenna…
…but I mean, that guy just has no common sense.
