• Fenix 5 vs Forerunner 235 GPS Test

    I finally got around to wearing both my Fenix 5 sapphire and Forerunner 235 on a run today. I tried as best as possible to have a level playing field and reduce the variables to do a fair comparison.

    Fenix 5 Sapphire
    Beta 4.04 (beta)
    GPS: 4.3

  • RE: intensity goal

    so to sum up - with the top model of Forerunner series now (next to 965), we are not able to receive even close to accurate short time pace on the screen :)

    I know, that in the interval summary it will present proper value, luckily I can justify myself…

  • Bose Soundsport Free and Forerunner 245M

    So I have the old Bose Soundsport Free's (https://www.bose.com/en_us/support/products/bose_headphones_support/bose_in_ear_headphones_support/soundsport-free-wireless.html).

    Recently bought a Forerunner 245M and I can connect my Soundsports to them…

  • RE: When will Garmin add native run power?

    I have used the Garmin Power. It works in general magnitudes if you apply a smoothing algorithm but the real time indicator has way too much variance and it doesn’t apply the necessary smoothing. Garmin also doesn’t provide any tooling around it to help…

  • Avarage pace not accurate, map looks ok forerunner 245

    Hello,

    I am constantly having issue with my average pace, I really think this is not accurate as I wish. I know that sometimes you might feel like running as a wind and the reality is different, but my Forerunner 245 shows not accurate pace I do believe…

  • RE: GPS + Glonass vs GPS + Galileo

    Garmin would probably claim customers aren't interested in this information. My assumption is different - that the newer models have inferior GPS chips, or otherwise have inferior pure accuracy, while more smoothing algorithms are in use now than were…

    Thanks for the reply’s. Firmware is 12.50.

    I have been running that same route for over two years most Saturdays so I have plenty of gps data from the 235 to compare. This weekend was the first time I tested the fenix 5 and noticed the poor accuracy on…
  • RE: 645M GPS accuracy

    Yes, average lap pace. I haven't used current pace in a few years because it's just all over. I agree that it takes a while to become near accurate, but this definitely didn't feel the case with the 6:30. I have a feel for my pace. When my watch shows…
  • RE: Data Field: AppBuilder


    Hello,

    at first a compliment for the great app. Very nice idea and help for people who have their own wishes, but do not know how to program apps :-)

    I would like to have a field that indicates the probable arrival time of a run when I prescribe the route…
  • Fenix 8 orientation and pacing issues

    Like many I have had Garmin Fenix devices for years and now have a Fenix 8 and have a whole load of problems.

    The map orientation response is sluggish in the extreme (compared to a Coros, Apple or Suunto)  - this can make it really problematic when out…
