Position indicator in map screen jumps all over the screen

Hi everyone,

I am noticing a strange behaviour by my Fenix 7 pro ss. While navigating, my position indicator constantly jumps (or "dances") all over the screen, instead of remaining upon the path I am on. It shouldn't be a GPS problem, since the recorded tracks are fine. I am noticing this in all activities, but especially while mountain biking, to the point that the watch is unusable. I have missed some turns today because the position indicator wasn't where it should have been when I glanced at the screen. This is happening only for a couple of months now. Is it a known bug? Was it introduced with the last software update?

Thanks for replying!

If you have the "Lock on road" function enabled, the position indicator might jump to a nearby road or path. Could this be the issue?

Lock on road is off. The position indicator jumps continuously away from my actual position and then reverts back. Could it be a refresh problem? When I am moving fast on the bike, the map in the background "shifts" accordingly and the position indicator catches up a couple of seconds later creating an erratic effect. This would be unfortunate and make the watch useless. I notice it also while montaneering but at a lesser extent. So an expensive watch and so laggy.
