At Rutgers my watch got bumped in a way that paused my activity. I didnt notice it for 15 minutes before restarting. Is there any way to conpensate for that in livelox as my route will be 15min shorter than my time?

You can open a GPX file in notepad (assuming a Windows computer) and make edits to the data points - might be an onerous task by hand, but maybe you could use find and replace or something. Although it does have clock time with each point, so your issue may not be that you are missing 15 minutes but just that you have a hole with no data which might appear as a straight line or something. You might just try loading it in livelox first and see what you get.

I got a similar problem at Rocky Ridge. First kilometer is missing. I didn't do anything between start and finish. I'm trying not to forget to start it and stop it when done. I don't mess with it otherwise.

Because Livelox doesn't get the epunch data loaded into it like Routegadget does, it only looks at your track in relation to the course. It doesn't know what time you actually punched. If you went close enough to 18 it would think you punched it on the first time passing by even though you didn't. I've had that happen before on Livelox if I was wandering near the circle. (Looking at your route, that's exactly what happened.)

Depending on what watch you guys have - on my Garmin I can lock the buttons while running so accidental presses don't happen (after it did happen to me a few times I figured this out and always lock it). Though missing the first km sounds like maybe your watch didn't find the GPS signal before starting.

Thanks, it makes sense.
