I have Garmin Connect on am Android device, an Instinct Solar watch and use the Garmin Coach for running. I've never had an issue before tracking my runs accurately in terms of time, distance and GPS data on the map.
I started a new plan last week though and for some reason the map is only showing my cool down and not the warm up and main body of the run.
It looks as though others have had a similar issue but no resolution posted here.
Please help. I can provide app data / screenshots etc
Same behaviour on Saturdays run, but I thought GPS then. Twice can't be coincidence as I've used it in this area for about a year without issues
Even though it's the right distance and elevation recorded?
Yes because that information can be derived from the internal accelerometer and barometric altimeter.
I'm leaning towards there being an issue with GPS acquisition.
From the event log of the fit file you posted...
The first timestamp that contained GPS data wasn't until 21:57 into the run, with no significant change to HR, cadence, or pace.
I would suggest reviewing the 2 Garmin support links above. Especially regarding waiting for GPS acquisition and connecting your device to a computer and syncing with Garmin Express. Then go for a short test activity to see if it will record GPS signals at the beginning of a run. Clearing out the .fit files from the \GARMIN\ACTIVTY folder on the watch might also help.
