![]() It’s cool to see both Edge units fire at the exact same second. So I took a few clips during my 20+ laps that I did last Wednesday to show you want it looks like as you approach the lap point and then continue on. Both are within 1-second of each other for the lap time.īut, this is much easier to understand in a short video. On the Edge 200 to the right (slightly harder to see because of my photography while riding), you can see the dark text along the bottom, indicating a lap was triggered. You can see this below on the Edge 800 (left) where as I passed this point on the map it triggered a lap. Then each time I pass this point from here on forward it’ll automatically create a lap. ![]() This is the point that when I pass I want a lap created. To put this in perspective, you can see below in the photo where I’ve stopped on the road to configure the auto lap position. Well, not hit the tree per se, but rather the point near the tree. But with auto lap by position, that’s all ignored as once I hit that tree – it sets a lap. That’s because depending on variations with my line each lap I might be at +/. If I were to configure a standard Auto Lap using distance, it might not trigger a lap at exactly the same point (or tree in my case) each time. Over the past few weeks I’ve been doing some cycling at a nearby park that has a 1.25 mile loop. So how do you use it? The menu’s will vary slightly based on which Garmin you have, but the general process involves you specifying that you want Auto Lap enabled (in Settings), and that you then want to Auto Lap by position (in Auto Lap settings). It’s just like normal Auto Lap where the unit does it without human intervention, you’ll never touch a button. What does by position mean? Well, in short it allows you to set a given location as the defined ‘lap’ point such that anytime you pass that point it’ll trigger a lap marking. See Garmin devices can not only can create laps automatically by distance – but also by position. But if you’re doing a course/route where you repeat the same point over and over again, there may actually a better option. Many of you probably use the most common version of auto lap today for your runs and rides, with it automatically marking laps based on a predefined distance such as every mile or kilometer. ![]()
