Garmin 305 Doesnt Show Exact Distance

Hi,
The Garmin 305 I'm using doesnt show the exact Distance, Always it shows 60% of the total Distance covered.
Can some one tell me how I could rectify this.

Thanks
Asif
  • That is pretty far off. To really diagnose this, can you provide more information, such as -- are you using an Edge or Forerunner 305? Running or biking? Roads or trails? Using GPS, footpod or GSC-10? Indoors or out? And so on.

  • Are you waiting for a good satellite lock before setting off?

    One other option - check if your are looking at the distance in miles or km. The 60% factor sounds a lot like the conversion factor between miles and km.
