I use a Garmin speed sensor on my mountain bike and I've noticed that when I come to a stop it takes a healthy 4-5 seconds before my Karoo pauses. My Garmin was near instantaneous with the exact same sensor. I have the speed set to 0.0, so I'm not sure why I have a delay.

  Maybe your speed is not being registered from the speed sensor at all. Go to Sensors and make sure the speed sensor is above Built-in GPS. So the speed sensor takes priority.

  Just checked and all of my sensors are above Built-In GPS. So there must be some other issue.

  I have complained about this, too. Official answer I got was that if you stop quickly it is normal for it to take a few seconds to come to 0 mph (Which affected my auto pause). I put my speed sensor first on the list. Still sucked. Meanwhile, my old Garmin notes 0 MPH immediately. If your speed sensor is set to auto wheel circumference, it is likely off by a lot.

  I have a non Garmin speed sensor and I also see that it takes a couple of seconds for the speed to drop to zero and auto pause. A bit annoying!
