Garmin Descent NDT not making sense

Post by mdsilvers »

Helo. I am having a hard time figuring out how the NDT is working as the time it gives seem VERY high, especially towards the end of the dive. See the attached screen shot. I've also included the .FIT file for this dive to help you debug unless I am missing something.

Looks like the attachments are not working. I can email you a screen shot and .FIT file if needed.

THanks!

I will have a look after work today. Could you please explain *how* they don't make sense? Eg, what does Garmin Connect show?

The NDT is showing for example at the end of the dive 5,500 minutes. I tried to upload a screen shot but it says the forum has exceeded the upload limit.

How does the data line up with Garmin Connect? Ie, what does it show.

You can email me screenshots.

I just emailed screen shot. I found the issue. It appears the actual NDT displayed is seconds, not minutes. The minutes label pops up as you scrub the timeline. If you divide the number by 60, it should be all good. :)

I thought this sounded familiar. This was actually fixed in beta a couple of months ago and will be in the next release. I can give you access to the beta now if necessary.

Access to the beta would be great. I'd be happy to be a tester. I dive almost daily here in Indonesia, so will be using this a lot with my new Garmin and Oceanic dive computers.
