GPS is not working

Since one week the GPS feature is not working well. See below about one surf session that I had. It was functioning pretty well before.

What is criticized here ?
The air line between turn and finish (GPS dropout ?) or that the start and finish are more than 50m apart?
Or both ?

Sorry Farron. I haven´t made myself clear. It was a surf session. The GPS haven´t captured the data points during the session. You see in the graph below that there was some movement in the beginning and in the end. There was no movement for one hour. I have catched 5 waves these days. The GPS stopped to work all the session.

I am having the same issue with Open Water swimming. My Instinct 2 Solar records the Meters I have covered but does not show on the map https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/10771422859

I have done exactly the same swim a few months ago & it tracked it OK but it now seems to have stopped.

Was the GPS signal locked before you started to swim?

Hi Trux, yes it was locked in. AND I did a GPS soak for about 2 minutes. It’s really strange as a few months ago it all recorded fine but now it’s faulty.

There are some tips in the article Tips to Improve Accuracy of Open Water Swim Activities | Garmin Customer Support - if it shows up to be of no help, I recommend contacting the Support.

You should also try soft-resetting the watch first, though, if you did not do it yet: How to Reset My Garmin Outdoor Watch | Garmin Customer Support
