My brand new Fenix 6X Pro watch (Xmas gift) is recording tracks with straight line sections in them. Should I return the watch to Garmin?
I use the watch in the Lake District hills (UK) to navigate planned routes and record my tracks.
I'm using 'every second' and have tried smart recording too. I have also tried GPS + Galileo and GPS + GLONASS. Nearly all the tracks contain sections where my movement was not being faithfully recorded. I was always under a very open sky. My phone was also tracking on one occasion and it had no trouble at the point where the Fenix track straight-lined.
Auto-pause is off.
Any clues? I'm on the point of returning it. My Garmin eTrex 20x has never missed a beat over many years use.
