The Edge has a built in fail in that it can't give you the correct distance while walking. It's intentionally like that from Garmin. It won't even track a mountain bike ride distance accurately without a speed sensor. The GPS track can be perfect. The…
Adding another data point to this thread - F6S Pro here - I have been obsessively comparing distances since I got the watch in early 2021 and found that:
I am training for a 100km hike and unfortunately the round trip routing is only of limited use for longer distances.
1. routes are too short for long distances
For me, it is important that the distance of the calculated routes corresponds as closely as…
Yeah, the watch assumes that most people run mostly on a straight line and the wobbling is due to GPS inaccuracy.
However in my case most of my running is on trails that are never quite straight. I find that Fenix tends to oversmooth the path and shorten…
Worked for a short time. But when the bt connection is lost (because of distance for example), it will not connect again. still need a Update!
There is still a defect in firmware version 15.10. The "Save & Calibrate" option doesn't appear when you stop a treadmill run activity recorded using a foot pod. Today I did a structured workout and the treadmill reported a distance of 3.77 miles whereas…
A new .FIT file from a user is now analysed. It is from a Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar using Multiband GPS. This time without using a foot pod. Just the watch.
About distance:
What I ended up doing was a short distance, especially when there were half marathons! The whole point of the 10k program was not to commit to such long runs due to time etc. You could easily do a long distance but it takes longer and you need to find…
I deleted all of my courses from Garmin connect this morning and re-did 2 of them ensuring the end point is approximately 100yards short of the start, will this be enough distance do you think?
Recently I read in another thread that it seemed to be fixed. I made a simple experiment: I startet swimming mode and made a slow straight walk... the distance was ~20% short - like before when swimming. The GPS-track looked perfect.
While swimming I…
