lol...wow...._ALL_ Garmin cycling computers have an autopause function, 
They've had that feature since Garmin first released cycling computers 
in 2006.

Using Auto Pause
You can use the Auto Pause feature to pause the timer automatically when 
you stop moving or when your speed drops below a specified value. This 
feature is helpful if your ride includes stop lights or other places 
where you need to slow down or stop.
NOTE: History is not recorded while the timer is stopped or paused.
1 Select > Activity Profiles.
2 Select a profile.
3 Select Auto Features > Auto Pause.
4 Select an option:
• Select When Stopped to pause the timer automatically when you stop moving.
• Select Custom Speed to pause the timer automatically when your speed 
drops below a specified value.
5 If necessary, customize optional time data fields (Adding a Data 
Screen, page 51).

you stop moving or when your speed drops below a specified value. This 
feature is helpful if your ride includes stop lights or other places 
where you need to slow down or stop.
NOTE: History is not recorded while the timer is stopped or paused.

• Select Custom Speed to pause the timer automatically when your speed 
drops below a specified value.

Screen, page 50).


And if you push "stop" on the clock, when you restart, they restart the 
mileage from zero. Now it has saved the previous ride and you can 
downlooad the same total mileage. But if you leave it, it measures the 
time from start to finish regardless of speed.
