GPS

Former Member over 5 years ago

I think my GPS is a little out..just a little. When I'm out walking, the distance will show differently from an other app. When I check the maps and compare them, Garmin vivoactive 3 watch is walking a little "off-road", while sportsttacker is more accurate, and the worst part is that it cuts the lenght of my walk.. anything I can do in order to get it more accurate?

You can activate the option GPS+Glonass. Later this year Galileo is supposed to work a bit better than Glonass, but at the moment GPS+Glonass is the better option. You can also change the mode from smart tracking to every second tracking. Please note that both changes have impact on battery life.

Also have a look at the following support document:
