  • RE: Fenix 6 Pro FIT vs GPX Files - Distance Discrepancy

    I have only posted comparisons with running - you can probably find some of my posts in the 'running distance too short' thread.

    I do not see the problem on gpx export - I already posted results from a 13.1 mile half marathon compared with a Polar…

  • 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: Treadmill calibrated distance not sent to Strava

    I have had the same issue with the 645 music. My previous watch (TomTom) would allow me to calibrate the distance at the end of the treadmill run and this data would be exactly the same on Strava and the TomTom app. Since getting the 645 I can calibrate…
  • 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…

  • Run distance only 1 meter and can't edit

    I recorded a short run activity today and my Forerunner 935 showed a distance of 0.98 miles at the end. But on Garmin Connect it shows a distance of only 1 meter! I tried to edit the distance but the field to change the units is disabled. What's going…

  • 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…

  • RE: Tennis, bad couting distance?

    I've already written that, if I use a treadmill or indoor running, they don't work for activities like tennis, badminton, volleyball.

    OK, I do not think you told it, but I finally understand now.

    That's why I said that…
