Garmin 1030: Can you display GPS speed instead of sensor speed.

[flash]

I'm playing around with a Garmin 1030 and the ENw100 junction, which I'm thinking of using instead of my 8000 display. All works pretty well. I like the better (more accurate??) battery level display especially.

However, I'd like to be able to display the speed recorded by the GPS in the 1030 instead of the Shimano sensor. Is that possible? On a normal bike you'd just not attach a speed sensor. But on the Shimano the cadence, battery, speed etc are all one sensor and I can't seem to find a way to have the GPS speed displayed instead.

Why do I want that, do you ask? Well, maybe, just maybe, I'm thinking of occasionally running my hardtail unrestricted and in that case the Shimano speed is displayed incorrectly....

if its same as the 820 just go into settings, sensors, should see the speed sensor, click on it and disable it

If I do it that way I also lose all the other stuff as the single sensor sends all the different fields. I just want to disable the speed output.

I do not think it is possible the Shimano sensor should have priority over gps and speed sensor, I used with minimax version u.s.a assistance up to 32 km, I just need such speed and shows the right speed.

I don't know how the speed is calculated by the Edge 1030 when connected to a Shimano EMTB - whether from the E8000 system, or cadence or wheel rotation * wheel size, or GPS - hopefully whatever is correct. It sounds like it just works from what @baffobaffone says.

But if you needed to calculate the speed in a different way or modify the displayed value then I think the AppBuilder datafield would be your best bet: AppBuilder 5 . You could at the least apply a fixed scale to the speed before displaying it.

When a speed sensor is first paired with a Garmin Edge device, leave the wheel size set to auto - then ride it (preferably flat & straight-ish) for 1km - the Edge should beep and display "wheel size calibrated", this simply allows it to count the number of wheel rotations against a measured GPS distance.

If accuracy is important to you fit the Garmin wireless speed sensor to your front hub
Garmin Edge Bike Speed Sensor
GPS really isn't very accurate.

With Edge 1030 and ENw100 coupled the 1030 only responds to the E8000 x speed and cadence
