Has anyone ever had this before? Last night it stopped working, the missus thought i was dead so got intouch and i was in the pub. I may now be in trouble.....

Obviously i dont need a repeat of this. Clicking on the link it says that the battery is dead or its not been started. Yet its recorded the ride and sent a link.

Any suggestions?

Are you just running Strava on your phone or using Garmin Connect (or similar)?

By stopped working, do you mean mid-ride or wouldn't start / send notifications?

I have mine set up to text me as well so I know it's working (or at least started).

Never had it stop mid ride without it telling me, so I'd report that to Strava if that's what happened.

Why not do Location sharing in Google Maps?

The very same reason mrs Nobeer is completely, and shall remain, unaware of such witchcraft....

I've stuck with RoadID through all the Strava Beacon and suchlike coming on the scene. Seems to work OK if you wanted an alternative.
