Is it the 1030 Explore?
I see it has "auto sleep" mode, "after 5 minutes of inactivity"--screen and GPS is turned off. But won't any movement keep it awake and recording?
Auto pause can be set to a custom speed, for example, 1.5 mph, to allow the bike to be moved at a stop without recording. It might be set to an unreasonably high speed?
My Edge 1030 records rides as .fit files in the Activities folder. How are you getting .gpx recordings?
I don't see how two Garmins could interfere with each other, so the dual failures must have some external reason for failure.
Other questions:
Do you have a wheel speed sensor linked to it?
Is it set to "1 per second" recording intervals?
An example
Where do you view your rides? Garmin connect, ridewithgps, or what? Can you link one of the failed rides?
