 Hi all,
 
 I've used a Garmin Edge 830 for several years now with very few
 (if any) real problems, but the last couple of rides the altimeter
 has gone crazy.  It takes the elevation for its stored home
 location (692 ft) just fine when I start the ride, but then it
 starts climbing on its own and then descending--with no reflection
 of the real elevation.
 
 Here's the profile that shows for the ride today (FWIW, I never
 saw the unit display anything over the mid 900s)...

 and here's the proper profile from the route...

 Anyone seen this before or have suggestions?  And no, I haven't
 tried resetting the unit yet, but do plan to.

Following up on this saga, the unit has worked quite well since
resetting, except this morning it was completely dead and would
not turn on until I'd held down the power button for a long time. 
And then it took quite a while to re-acquire satellites.
