At least for running I'm sure that the watch is filtering/averaging the points and somehow using the accelerometer when calculating the distance. Even before watches had accelerometers there would be some difference between the watch distance and the…
No there is no solution. You can't turn it off. It can be more reliable than the GPS distance sometimes, but often it's too short. Other brands are doing the same kind of adjustments, but... better. :-)
The gps and current pace accuracy in mine is rubbish and has been ever since I bought the watch. Current pace is always slow and drops right off at times, the trace on Garmin connect clearly shows this too. Every run on known distances come in short.…
The ability to add the first putt distance combined with the total putts would produce meaningful info about initial distance and 3 putts. I think 5 initial putt distance boxes would suffice such as: <5’,
<10’,
11’ to 20’
…I have the R10 and the G80 unit and I set them both up at the same time. The G80 is pretty close to the right distances but the HTH is always short of that distance. On the driving range they match up.
Just got back from a short run. I’ve been using my iPhone to record my distance for a while now and I just started using the Epix 2 and where my phone said I traveled 1.12 miles (I’ve made this particular little run several times) my Epix said it was…
I use GSPro indoors only and setting the altitude and the boost in GSpro it gets very close to real distances. Also find that short flop shots work well on short shots around the green. The R10 seems to have problems with low shots even with full shots…
As an example, at a latitude of 40 degrees (north or south) the Pythagorean formula will give distances roughly 30% too large when measuring distance in an east/west direction.
Perhaps related to this are discussions about Fenix 6X measuring the distance short on a difficult terrain, up to 5-10% short. Let me explain that. I think, fundamentally, algorithm is the same between the Ultratrac and the normal every second mode. Even…
