• RE: How to obtain the distance between two Location objects

    Yes, the thread Travis linked to provides both methods. I've been using the "planetscooter" method since then, but I changed it some parameter wise and this is it now:

    //
    // distance between two location (meters) and returns formatted…
  • Part of running track not shown, distances correctly measured

    I have a MARQ series and tried it today for the first time next to my Apple Watch for running a short distance. The distance tracking between Garmin and Apple Watch is comparable (so correct!).

    After the synchronization to the Garmin Connect App, I looked…

  • RE: Step Counter and Distance

    I don't want to argue, actually I agree it is not meaningful.

    That said the statement is not correct as the stepcounter is included and almost every watch face displays it.

    The question is rather why the distance is not presented as well as on the…

  • RE: Very inconsistent distances, club head and ball speeds.

    Really that is about 5.5 feet which seems short as Garmin says minimum 6 feet.

  • RE: Move IQ, GPS and distance.

    Well nevermind, was mixing things up.... Seems to be working fine afterall.


    Not for me. I have exactly the same issue that you reported before. If I let Move IQ start an activity (e.g. walking) automatically, it buzzes me (after 5 minutes) to let me…
  • RE: Venu Sq overestimating distance

    Hello, I think the estimate given by the Venu SQ is correct and adapted to your height and weight data, those of Google Fit seem to adapt more to a person with very short strides, probably a height of 1.62 cm, in any case the stride during the day varies…

  • Inaccurate distance measurement using GPS?

    I'm beginning to doubt the accuracy of  distance measurement with my Vivosmart 4. After I updated the app a couple weeks ago, I noticed that the Lap indicator (set to a mile) went off several hundred yards short of where it used to go off on my regular…

  • Stopped calculating distance on Indoor Runs.

    Since updating to 3.20 yesterday, I have done 2x short treadmill runs (slow jogging really) , of approximately 18 and 16 minutes. My 235 has calculated the distance as 0.15 and 0.11km respectively. This is extremely annoying, as before the update I had…
  • RE: Swim Distances Always Wrong

    I get pretty good results with mine. Sometimes, it misses a length, but it's pretty obvious in the stats. So, I would say I the distance is within about 1 length of actual, which I can live with.

    I would guess that the ability for the watch to count…

  • Difference between distance on Strava and Garmin Vivoactive 4s

    Yesterday my son and I walked a short round. On his Strava app he walked 6,2 km. On my Vivoactive 4S I walked 5,2 km. Quite a difference for such a  short walk! The route was from the Internet. On the site it also was 6,2 km. So Garmin Vivoactive does not…
