• RE: Hitting into a net outdoors distances WAY off

    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…

    So ultratrack is measuring short or gps long? I'm guessing ultratrack short.

    Yesterday on a short potter to the park, Garmin recorded 35k whereas two separate mapping results suggested 28k. I have never noticed such a discrepancy before. On the few occasions that I have cross-checked the difference has been less than 2.5%. …
  • RE: Ultratrac calculates wrong distance/speed

    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…

  • RE: Different distances since 16.70?

    My 6X has consistently been a bit short. Approximately.1-.2 miles short every 10 miles (comparing to everyone else’s watches). I’m finding 16.7 actually appear to have corrected it for me. 

  • RE: GPS Accuracy - total distance

    I recently upgraded from the VA HR to the VA3.(Christmas special, 2019)
    I was very surprised and disappointed that the VA3 consistently returned the same 4-5% short distances compared to my VA HR which had always been spot on (compared to published race…

  • RE: Club distance problem

    I have my elevation at 4000. Largely solved the distance issue on anything 8i or longer. Shorter clubs still feel short. 

    sadly, it’s a common issue that seems to have no resolution. If somebody talks about “indoor swing syndrome”, it’s code for “we don…

  • RE: Garmin Fenix 7 Swim distance issue

    They are different issues, I've experienced both. The pool issue is where it just measures 0 distance for the swim. The open water one is weird, the distance comes up very short compared to my old 735xt. If I export the gpx and upload to a gpx reader…

  • RE: Distance wrong on approach s60.

    I had the S40 approach, and that was totally in sync with my club distance, after I got the S60, I am always short of where I want to be, but the garmin golf app suggests the club distance is accurate. Obviously thr watch is not giving me the right distance…

  • Club distance solution!

    Hey all, I know the 15-20 yards short problem is prevalent. 

    After a ton of frustration and nearly returning the unit, I threw a Hail Mary and started messing with the elevation. 

    by going up to 4300 feet, and keeping the humidity low, my numbers started…
