Worst GPS tracking since 15 years of using Garmin watches !

Interesting, how people define what is relevant for others. I totally agree with the original poster.

My watch is showing the same behaviour:

Walked on the road, but the track was completely off.

SW version: 6.10, GPS 2.90

Aaaand I also had runs with the jumpy GPS mentioned in this thread. (with older SW and GPS version)

And for me this IS relevant !

I'm on the last Beta and GPS 4.02 and...
I also found the GPS get jumpy. The tracking on a walk is MUCH less smooth than before.
And I have tried the three GPS Galileo Glonass options.
So perhaps there is something to explore there, because the "Drunk Syndrome" is back on mine.

(Also about the thread names which look very "aggressive" IMHO 
I think it could come from the way you can post on those forums.
The title of the thread are first  a "question" and if there is no answers it turns into a thread title.
Short story long: this forum is not really user friendy and is VERY designed for complains...
My two cents.) 

Have you run this same route and if so, how does the track look?  The attached link describes issues when stopping, but all things being equal, the slower your speed the more drift or "drunk syndrome" you'll have.

When I had a jumpy GPS I was running a pace of about 6 min/km, no stopping.

The walk I posted above: I was walking with someone with somebody who has a Polar a V800, and if you see this recorded track (spot on almost all the time) you ask yourself, why you invested in a Garmin top model.

I don't see it, so I can't comment.  I can only comment on the photo you posted of your track.  Even if you posted their track I'd need more info before I could come to any conclusions.  For example, while walking on the east side where the track is worse, were both watches using GPS only, or configured differently?  Were the watches worn on the same wrist, or one on the left and the other on the right?

Your posted graph is a great example of a partially obstructed view due to canopy.  While on the west side with further and less trees, the track is much better than on the east side where you can clearly see more trees closer to your path.

For comparison:

V800 / slightly off. For the V800 a "bad track", I would be satisfied with such a track on my F6pro:

VA3 / same walk:

I did many comarisons with V800 because we did many runs together, so same conditions, and there I saw how great the V800 records compared to the F6pro. So the above might not be the best example.

Maybe you could write answer in public. And we would apriciate some other answers and statements

Another part of this route:

F6pro:

V800:

How/what are you using to compare?  You're showing the same aerial photo for the VA3, F6 and V800 with a single red track.  I'm not familiar with Polar.  Do they show the exact same route track as Garmin does?
