Compass about 180 degrees wrong when doing activity/navigation

Brodden over 2 years ago

Hi everybody,

My problem with the compass is that the compass could (not always) show the right direction when in the compass app.

But if I start an activity and enable navigation eg. a course, then the compass will show about 180 degrees wrong.

Have anybody else experienced this weird problem?

Same response I gave you in the fenix 7 Series forum:

What mode do you have your compass set to?

MENU > Sensors & Accessories > Compass > Mode > Auto / GPS / Magnetometer

I have found the most stable response when set to "Magnetometer"

Thank you for your suggestion. I will try it the next time. The only issue I see with tour solution is if the compass is not working properly due to the pin, then the “GPS-compass” worked like a fail safe when moving.

We will see. I’ll keep you posted.

I have tried what Gaijin recommended and all other compass setting but nothing works. Its almost exactly 180 degrees wrong when using the navigation during an activity.

Is it only me that is having this 180 degree issue when using navigation during an activity?

Have you tried calling Garmin Support in your area and talking with them about your problem?
