Why is my map creating a wrong trace of my run, resulting in an incorrect showing of kilometers run?

Wrong trace of run

  • Hard to tell without seeing the data. Share a link to the activity, and we may perhaps try to help.

    Did you get the GPS lock sign before starting the run?

    Possible reasons are an expired EPO/CPE file (ephemeris data), insufficient GPS signal (high-rise buildings, walls, terrain, vegetation, ...), hardware failure, a firmware update gone wrong, ...

    I recommend syncing and then soft-resetting the watch (holding the light button till the watch shuts down - no data will be lost), connecting the watch over the USB cable to a computer with Garmin Express, and checking for updates. Then make another run, and do not start before getting the GPS lock.

  • Thank you so much. I’ll try the different solutions. Either way, here is a picture of the map, since I can’t share a link.

  • Instructions how to share a link are for example here:

    However, the instructions in my previous post could help. Try them first before the next run, and then let us know the result.
