Bug with Lat/Long data field?

Former Member over 6 years ago

I have a Garmin Fenix 5 (not sapphire) and am experiencing an issue with data fields.

I have setup two additional data fields on Hike app OS Grid and Lat/Long. The OS grid is bang on, however the Lat/Long is about 30 miles out. When I go into widget for both they are both bang on. I have tried setting the watch for GOS, GPS/GLONASS, Ultrac and nothing seems to change this.

Any thoughts why this is? A bug?

Regards,

Mike

Can you post some sample coordinates, both the ones you think are wrong, and the expected correct ones?

Ok so I have taken a photo of watch showing difference between os grid and lat/long

Those two coordinates sets are in two different formats. The one on the gridreferencefinder.com screenshot is in dd.dddddd format, the one on the watch is in dd mm.mmmm format. When you recalculate one format into the other, then both coordinate sets land pretty close to each other.
