I suspect it was due to a recent firmware update. I just checked my 62 device and see similar things happening. If it really bothers you, do a search for a wiki page for your Garmin Montana model. The wiki pages will sometimes keep most of the firmware…
It will help just for short time :D
If you will check the map, you will find that your trajectory is ok. So I guess Garmin is calculating the distance not in the cellphone, but in the band. If so, this is very dumb decision! The band can't count the distance…
So from this, if my understanding is correct, if I play a shot short of the green, then a chip and putt(s) to the hole, the yardage of my approach will be counted from where I enter the final score, and there is no way of designating the actual spot it…
because to reduce complexity, Garmin will go on to unify the firmware
I think this is ok as long as bugs and inconsistencies aren't introduced as a result. But obviously this has already happened more than once.
As…
Thank you very much!
Do you have a long distance event as primary race saved in your Garmin Calendar?
Actually I like the coach function in the devices ;) - but maybe the Fenix 7X is enough for that as it takes my jetlag and so on into account 
I am not…
I had a similar issue in today's workout.
My workout consisted of 15 sets of 600m tempo run (target pace 3:25 - 3:30 min/km) and 1:30 minutes of recovery time. Automatic laps were set to 400 m. A…
Short walk. His showed 1.66 miles and mine 1.46. GPS was on fire both. We were step for step.
Garmin is trying to be clever, but often they are cutting too short. Other GPS devices are often too long. And you can't turn off the "optimization" on the Fenix. So unfortunately, if you have a reliable distance, you need a footpod. Maybe GPS only without…
Do you still experience the issue?
I've bought my Venu 2 a couple of days ago and noticed similar problem. My running activity time, pulse and steps have been recorded properly but the total distance have been recorded only for the first 2km (out of 6km…
The units do NOT use the Iridium satellites for navigation. They have a separate GPS radio.
if you only send track points by satellite (no logged points/activity/term du jour), the reported distance will typically be short of reality. You are only getting…
