GPS Accuracy since 25 update

Has any one else noticed that since their watch updated to 25.00 that the GPS accuracy has gone haywire and the accuracy is not the same? My usual very accurate 5km is now measuring about 4.94km

Only thing that's changed for me is the new update so that's all I can think of. I use GPS & Galileo setting.

I don’t know if it had anything to do with it and I know this is how conspiracies start.

But I was just thinking. Could it be gps is less accurate because of the war in Ukrain?

Not at all. Personally I never have gps problems. I think gps on my watch is good enough for it purposes. I really don't mind strava showing I ran at the other side of the street than in real life. I accept the very few strange hickups.

I know some people really make a fuss about gps accuracy. Not me.

But I do know the gps accuracy can be turned down and I wouldn't be surprised the war in Ukraine is a reason to turn it down.

That's all for me.

Gps accuracy on a sportwatch isn't a problem at all, ever. Russia invading Ukraine, that's a problem.
