• Does Garmin correct the distance based on the GPS map?

    I have a series of open water swims where I lose GPS very frequently (not sure if it is me or the watch)- and it calls all my swims short. The map looks like the route I swim, but when I swim in and my wife swims the same route we get a massive difference…
  • RE: Issue with distance and Apple Health

    Welcome to the mess that is Garmin's implementation of the HealthKit API.  The short answer here is that Garmin has failed to implement almost anything correctly for this integration.  (other than a couple things like all day HR, or steps). Anything…

  • Have there been any updates re: speed & distance issues with the 6 Pro?

    I am coming from a 945 and comparatively I'm seeing pretty significant differences/ issues in GPS accuracy in the 6 Pro. Was told by Garmin that it's because the 6 is metal... there's really no solution for this?

    Elevation gain was about 600ft…

  • Distance not correct.. it's measuring less 200 m for every 1000 m. Forerunner 45

    My Garmin forerunner 45 watch off late started showing 200m short for every 1000m. Also reflecting on running pace

  • RE: Problems with remaining distances while segments alert is on

    I meant live segments during course navigation. Yes, live segments, as a standalone feature, are now finally reliable for me when running on trails. I've been complaining to Garmin a lot about that.

    However, the last time I remember trying that, live…

  • Significant Differences In GPS Distances Reported - Epix 2 versus Fenix 6

    Hi -

    Have a weekly trail run with a friend, and each week our miles completed is vastly different. Most recent data point was the Epix2 at 22.04 miles (myself) and 20.67 on the Fenix 6 (my friend.) Ran the exact same route single file or side by side…

  • Approach R10 Driver distances... Still terrible unless you swing at 125 mph+. Alternate apps?

    I have seen all the complaints about how bad the r10 is with driver stats. Interesting observation... I am broken and I am down to 90-95 mph swing speed. Driver distances for me are way off as compared to my ES14. Launch angle is usually out to lunch…

  • RE: Problem with distance and pace measurements on Instict

    Fenix 6 and all the new Garmin devices use the Sony chipset which I'm sure has different issues and uses a different algorithm.

    I do not believe there is a direct relation to the GPS chipset. The situation may be perhaps better with different…

  • RE: Treadmill distance way off, calibration making things even worse.

    it's all about your cadence and a previous known average stride length measured using GPS outdoors - you can then trick the watch by deliberately taking a short stride length/high cadence on the treadmill - it thinks you're still running at your average…

  • RE: Question about editing a run distance after the activity is completed

    Ah, that's annoying, as I actually did want it to update, as currently my watch is saying my runs are short, so running 5km according watch has me needing to run 5.2km in reality, meaning my pace is slower which will also negatively affect my VO2 score…
