Virb edit distance is much longer, than in the GPX file

Former Member over 6 years ago

Hello All!

I create tracks and videot from 50-100 km long routes for rallye races, so this videos have to shows correct datas.

The distance gauge displays more longer distance than the gmetrix fit file data (p.e. if I import it to Garmin Basecamp). Of course I have synced the gmetrix data. At the start of the video the distance is correctly 0, but as I go ahead, it displays longer distance, in proportion.
On a 15km ride the difference is about 1 km, on 200 km-s the difference is 30 km-s.
My track file (.fit) in basecamp is 202 km, but at the end of the video, the virb edit distance gauge shows 234 km-s. I made another track with my phone, and it's also 202 km, and I know the route, 202 is the correct distance.
Could you please help me, how should I correct this difference?

I've found the solution!

I've downgraded my Virb Ultra 30 firmware to 4.50, and all the problems lost, the distances are correct.
After this, I upgraded to 4.60, and the problem came back, the distance got to be longer.

So I downgraded again, and now it's working correct!

So, I think there shoud be a mistake in the 4.60 firmware!!!

Awesome Miklos! Thanks for the effort in identifying this issue. Can you please zip the fit file and try to attach it to your post, if that doesn't work can you provide a Dropbox or Google download link? Once I'm able to reproduce the issue on my end I'll forward the issue to the VIRB Ultra developers.

Also, could you try something out real quick and see if it fixes your issue? Could you get back into the bad state then try out the steps below?
1. Get into the Bad state then close VIRB Edit
2. Navigate to C:\Users\'USERNAME'\AppData\Local\Garmin\VirbEdit
3. Delete the GMetrixCache folder
4. Start VIRB Edit
5. Is the issue fixed now?

Thanks

Dear Reyntest!

Thanks.
Deleting the cache did not fix it :(

You can download the fit file from here:

If I open the .fit file in Garmin Basecamp, the distance is 202 km. But if I put a distance gauge to the video in Virb edit, it's 234 km-s. Maybe the 234 km is calculated from other datas (elevation, 3d speed, I dont know).

I've put a screenshot to the zip, you can see the recorded 3d speed graph... It's confusing. I was a simple journey with my car, so it's impossible that the 3D speed is jumping.
But. I made "correct distance" video, and the recorded 3D speed looked like this. I found that in every 10 seconds the 3D speed flashes to 0, and jumps back. I really don't know why. Should this be a sensor error?

Bests, Miklos
