Bad Hiking Distance tracking instinct 2s solar

Hi, i'm having an issue that i've discovered with tracking while hiking.

I'm attaching photos to see the difference.

I'm am planning my courses using 2 apps + google research. (Locus maps and explore). I get a distance and I plan acordingly for it - equippment, food, water, even the people that i can call for this adventure. So when i get back and see that instead of 5 hours and 12.9 km, we did 15.57 and 6 and half hours (of course the hours will differ).

As i've said, i am checking 2 maps + google research beforehand.

Dose anybody have a solution or suggetion for this?

BTW, when you check the map, there are several places that significantly add distance to the activity track. Have a close look for example at the part between kilometers 4 and 5 as shown below - the path…

I don't see the photos, you probably didn't attach them. How do you set up tourism? Capture after 1 s GPS+Glonass? It seems very accurate to me when I compare it with my map. Maybe your gps got shot somewhere. Try to level it somewhere on a flat section without rocks, trees, or houses.

Look at the zoom to see if the GPS has shot you somewhere. How do you set up the tourism? Does it happen to you elsewhere? It will always be slightly different, because you don't walk completely straight, etc.

So, i checked the zoom before posting and it's almost identical with the initial planning. I don't understand the tourism part. It happened on all the hikes

I am asking for the third time. :-) What are your GPS settings? Try it on the flat, you don't happen to plan in miles/km. It shows me very accurately, try a circuit where there are no obstacles, or another planner or GPS in your mobile phone.

Please make the course and the activity public and post links to them (not screenshots!). Easier done in Garmin Connect Web. We can then check both and tell you where the problem is.

Check out my hiking activity on Garmin Connect. #beatyesterday

You can also import a gpx file of your activity from Garmin Connect and import it into a map planning application (any) and immediately see where it disagrees.
