Guys,
It`s not really something to be proud of, but check this track my F6XPro created today. It`s kind of my personal record for track inaccuracy.
Orange: today`s track
Blue: old activity over the same course
I dare you to beat that!

Maybe an inner ear infection might cause that? Have you been feeling slightly off balance while running? (just joking obviously lol)
I wish i could understand what you mean but ok i assume it is a software thing.... Which is a good thing.... I guess i will continue to have it right?
How about that
This activity was done by technical department of Garmin in Greece. They tested the watch on action.
I had done a 8km run about an hour earlier with a really good GPS track (got 10.10 a few days ago), I only noticed because I had to discard a cool down run that I ran after that due to really weird GPS track. Took about 3 minutes for the GPS location to slowly drift to the right position for the walk.
No, I`m on this version for a while.
Are you on 10.10?
BTW, I have only just got 10.10 (about an hour ago) here so have not had the opportunity to test.
No. 10.00
What "soak the gps" means...?? Sorry not familiar with the expression....
Let the watch sit somewhere, at the activity screen looking for GPS - for about 10 minutes for it to get updated positions etc
This is my today walk, the start and finish point was the same. Not for the watch
This was before update to 10.10 so the issue is not about soak or not soak.
Looks like today something went screwy! Odd how it's different firmwares, and GPS settings - wonder if a GPS satellite had a time malfunction?
Definitely some Twilight Zone running today!

Well I never realised that this was a thing, so perhaps this (or something like it) was responsible??
"
Several companies were hit by hours of system warnings after 15 GPS satellites broadcast the wrong time, according to time-monitoring company Chronos.
The company observed problems last week, after noticing some GPS time signals were 13 microseconds out.
Such a discrepancy is considered severe and several Chronos telecoms clients faced "12 hours" of system errors."
a GPS satellite had a time malfunction?
I think so, too strange these shifts all today.
perhaps this (or something like it) was responsible??
That, or maybe bad data in the CPE files?
I've only once seen anything that bad, in the early days of the Forerunner 620, before they got the GPS software sorted out.
Today's track was sketchy for me, but only to they level of running behind houses I was actually in front of, nothing as horrible as the OP's.
