wrong route navigation

3710854 over 1 year ago

Today i went running for a nice 20 km run. Planned out a route using Strava.

Used my Epix gen 2 for navigation. While running i constantly had the maps on the screen.

I completely followd the route. At one point i recognized the point as passed earlier.

The navigation brought me back to the start, not following the planned route.

Did i do something wrong? Or is the GPX broken?
