Hello,
Here is a video detailing my problem: drive.google.com/.../view
My compass was calibrated today at a place where I intentionally went to get away from any possible magnetic interference. Also, the video compares with an iPhone X's compass which was also calibrated.
I have also recently did a hard reset in an attempt to resolve the issue.
Strange thing is that the mag north reads fine. I could have lived with this. BUT ... because of this discrepancy, the arrow on my track while doing the "Navigate" activity does not point correctly.
Other important stats of my watch: 13.3 firmware. it is an APAC model and under warranty (Serial number 6LL001460).
I wonder if there's a way I can install 14.3 firmware on my own? Seems like that might have solved it for some folks?
Thanks!
TC

So here's the video showing the weird nav problem. I currently have my North Ref set to magnetic north, and maps set to "Track Up".
Almost tells me to do a u-turn. every. time. I. stop.

It's a simple route generated from Connect. Just a couple hundred meters of straight line.
But its quite obvious what's going on. The hardware is not powerful enough (understandable, since its a watch) to support things like Kalman Filtering. Otherwise, something like a Kalman filter would have kept this at bay.
So when moving, the system gives more weight to GPS derived heading, all is good.
But when stationary, the system gives more weight to compass derived heading. Which somehow is quite messed up now.
