In China,my instinct 2X have two different Coordinate System

 In China,my instinct 2X shows the different coordinate,because the watch have two different Coordinate System.

According to customer service,the activity fit is Coordinate System WGS84.

But saving position is Coordinate System GCJ02.

The basecamp map on my computer is WGS84,so activity fit is OK，but saving position is offset.

On my watch,"saving position" is useless,"nav to waypoint" is useless,"SIGHT 'N GO" is useless,"Expedition GPS Activity"is useless,"POINT-TO-POINT NAVIGATION" is useless,"gps position"is useless.

As an outdoor watch,most funtion based on saving position can not work well in China,is a big risk can cause me lost in forest.

Can you fix this?

    When I check a non-APAC SE Asia Instinct 2X that is used worldwide outside of SE Asia, I do not even see the option to change the DATUM to GCJ02. The options you see when you go to the System > Format > Datum menu, those are all of the dozens of different GPS options  available on your watch.

    Please reach out to Outdoor Product Support in your region to discuss it further. They can research on a SE Asia APAC Instinct 2X for you.

    This is the answer they told me,bue the problem is still there:

    保存位置的坐标系为GCJ02，活动fit文件的坐标系是WGS-84，因此当您使用Basecamp显示活动和位置时，所以会看到偏移。设置中的位置格式只是显示的格式，不会更改为保存的活动或点的格式。

    The coordinate system for saving the location is GCJ02, and the coordinate system for the active fit file is WGS-84. Therefore, when you use Basecamp to display the activity and location, you will see the offset. The position format in the settings is only the displayed format and will not be changed to the saved activity or point format.
