GPS Distance and track issues

Dears,

I am having major gps issues in my last 2 runs. 

I am using version 13.0.0

First one shall have been 9.5 km, and was only counted as 6.15km. What is the most annoying is that the end point shall be at the same place than the starting point  :https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/5602537870

The second activity is also drasticaly reduced 5.27km instead of roughly 9km. Same issue, the end point is 1.5 km away from the point i really stopped : connect.garmin.com/.../5611887975

As i noticed the issue in the 1st activity, I did a soft reset (10s on power button), and i selected GPS only (1st activity, like previous ones, where GPS + Gallileo). As seen nothing change.

Only thing i did recently, before those 2 activities,  that i never did before was to do a test of the 'Swimrun' activity because i prepare a swimrun.

For all previous activities, GPS worked like a Garmin one (not best in class for trace, still instant pace accuracy issue, but as i always had with Garmin GPS)

  • Today I noticed the same problem with beta software 13.71. Distance of my walk is half of what it used to be on the same route I often record. Will do more testing tomorrow to confirm the issue.

    UPDATE, 6th of October: I recorded few more activities (GPS and GPS+GALILEO) and could't confirm the issue, so seems it was one time abnormality in my case.
