Precision Rifle Gear Garmin Xero Combine Sessions?

[adaptive]

I shot both these sessions using the same ammo on the same day but 40 mins apart. They are split because the Xero went to standby. Is there a way to combine them in the Xero app or device itself?

Thanks!

Yea something I’ve been wondering about is a way to resume or continue a session after you turn off the device. Sometimes I only want to chrono 1 gun and I’ll turn it off while I wait for the gun to cool. Or continue on a different day.

I don't think you can combine them after the fact in the Garmin. I just export a CSV then manually combine them in Excel or Google Sheets.

I was afraid of that. I think Garmin should look into adding these capabilities in the future, to both the device firmware and app. It’s nice to have all your sessions centralized in one place.

Nope can’t resume a session like that. It’s a reasonable complaint I’ve made and heard others make before too.

Garmin data analysis sucks, but the units are great.

The next thing they need to fix is a 1 button session start.

So, you didn’t power it off and didn’t go into Pause. It timed out on standby and that locked to session? Correct?

If I’m going idle for a while, I pause the session having been locked out after…er, maybe powering off…so I do Pause. I believe that works to keep the session open.

And yes, take them both to Excel and run average and SD there…only thing I can offer.

Yes, if you Pause the session it will keep it open, even if you turn it off, and you can Resume it once you turn it back on. If you don't, the session is closed when you turn it off (or it turns itself off, apparently). I have not had one time-out on me yet, I didn't know they would even do that. So, it turned off after a certain length of time with no activity? Does anyone know how long before it does that?

With several updates to the software already, and quite a few complaints that were registered that I'm aware of, it sure seems like that would be an easy fix for them to incorporate: Just allow any session to be re-opened.

Exactly what I was thinking. I was surprised this feature wasn’t already included.

After about 30mins of inactivity it first disarms the radar, then after another 10-15 mins of inactivity it shutdowns. By then your session is automatically closed and apparently cannot be resumed. Sucks because where I shoot we group into relays and it takes 40mins before a relay gets to shoot again.
