• RE: Distance wrong on my runs please help!

    I just got my vivoactive 3 music a couple weeks ago and notice the same thing comparing to measurements on google maps I come up about .1 miles short on a 4-5 mile runs every time

  • RE: Distance Under recording Algorithm Fix Due?

    I wish this thread got more attention. I have an instinct since 2019 but only use it when I am in the mountains when on holidays because then I really need its features and I can live with the distance discrepancy. However, during most of the year I am…

  • RE: Bike ride activity not tracking correct distance

    Wrong distance is also shown on the watch and in the history of the Garmin Vivosmart connect app.

    Just went for a short walk, waited for the GPS lock and right away the watch displayed that I had already walked 26 Km. Something is going wrong ik the first…

  • RE: Half-marathon distance measured by gps only

    Hi Parentoft,

    Thank you very much for the info. I have been struggling with my FR955 suddenly showing my morning walking distances that are 6-7% short of what I was used to (on trails I use frequently). I then used my Fenix 7s SS simultaneously and it…

    That's why I said that…
  • RE: Distance not working on activities after 3.10 upgrade (2.5 GPS upgrade)

    Got the same effect here, records a ridiculous short distance. Map is looking good. And yes, I waited for the GPS-fix before I started recording.

    Additionally, the elevation is totally wrong (i.e. while I went mostly up (about 50m), the watch recorded…
  • RE: Track Run "New Feature" - Garmin Should Round Distance

    I am curious. Did you see any alert (like pace, or performance condition) or did you look at any glance during the laps that end up short?

    Anyone having issues with ride data accuracy that is synced with Strava? Twice in a row on two short rides the data was displaying accurately in Garmin Connect. However, when it would sync with Strava the distance was way off. Ex. ride was 8 miles…
  • RE: Suggested Workout Suggestion - DISTANCE

    At first I was thinking you just wanted the training in Distance, but then it became clear you just want the total distance so you know what route to choose.  Makes sense to me, but at the same time... it could give you approx distance, but it will likely…
