Best bug! and most dangerous bug!

Thanks Garmin for making me the younger brother of Superman! I just finished a trail run, 2hours and 30min and I got some PRs: best 5K in 0sec, best 1k in 0sec! Wow! I start running from a town and according to Garmin travelled over another town and never got back home. Really Crazy GPS! Never seen anything like this with any of the units I had in the past: Ambit3, Fenix3, Fenix5.

I actually did an out-and-back run, started where the red sign for stop is, but looking at the map somehow the start is translated in the wilderness. The total distance was longer by 3.25Km than reality but this is because Garmin ignored part of the StarTrek teleportation.

During run I also noticed vertical speed was sometimes 2000m/h!!! I used GPS+GLONASS. Thanks God it did not happened in a week when I will run an Ultramarathon! But hey! How do I know it wouldn't happen again!?!?

I used 2 sensors: HRM-Run and footpod and I got on average 7%/hr battery consumption. How on earth is this watch going to do 'up to 28hours on GPS' how Garmin advertises?! I will run tomorrow 1 hour only on GPS and with no sensors to see if I get the advertised 3,5%/hour.
