Currently an issue with several of the Garmin x45 series, fenix 6, and vivoactive 4 watches
To be fair, I ran with my buddy who has the Fenix 5 at the weekend. His gps was fine, recorded everything perfectly, my Fenix 6 was so far out it was laughable. Whatever the issue is, Garmin aren’t being…
I've been having crazy issues with my GPS since the last update. On Monday, my watch randomly forgot to register 1 km of activities cause gps lost me, and then yesterday my usual 9.1 km workout suddenly was shortened to 8.9 km. Wtf?!
GPS is spot on for me, no drift or offsets and has me on the correct side of the road down narrow country lanes or going into town surrounded by buildings (in the UK we are on left side of the road)
Hi. I also have this problem last 3-4 days. Didnt update watch, have version 22.10 last 14 days and all worked well, until monday this week. I wait to gps goes green before running. I wait like 2-3 minutes, streching etc, and then start running.
At the end of running it shows me exactly the same curve like the picture above. My starting point is like 300-400 m away from the point where i actually start running. Also the first kilometer is really crazy unaccurate. After first km everything works well.
what to do ??
I noticed this on Strava. Obviously Strava just reflects the data given to it but its a nice place to see many athlete's GPS tracks at once. Almost the majority of my friends, using many different types of watches, was having extremely bad GPS drift the last 2-3 days. I don't think its a Garmin, or Polar, or Suunto problem, I think there was a GPS/Glonass/etc problem somewhere which was affecting everyone.
Coincidence. There’s posts across all devices Garmin and otherwise to the same effect. The issues, as commented on by Garmin, is to do with the satellites. It will clear. Don’t make any changes on the watch.
Maybe. But when I check other friends activities at the same time, all of them are pretty good, even they have other Garmin models.
