No GPS data for my run

Hi, 

I ran yesterday with my Garmin 735XT but it did not record any GPS data when it uploaded to Garmin and Strava. I have checked the software is up to date and I have tried again but no luck. I'm not sure if it is locating GPS correctly. Here is the GPX file from Garmin connect if that helps. Many thanks

    Probably from the accelerometer. 

    Make sure you're using an activity profile that includes GPS data. Activity Settings > GPS status = On. The Running profile should be GPS On, but something might have changed. Activities like Indoor running, default to GPS off.

    Side note - this fit file potentially could be repaired if you have an identical run that included a map, I can apply the GPX file to this fit file, so you'll have a map.

    The watch estimates your pace from the step count multiplied by the average stride length, when no GPS data is available. Hence, indeed from the accelerometer, as wrote.
