    I found that I do get extra steps counted when driving. Maybe a couple hundred during a 30 min drive but I also get missed steps when walking short distances like from room to room in my house etc. I feel over the long term it kinda balances out.

    I also…
  • RE: Pool Swim - default GPS location

    did you understand what I was suggesting, I know exactly what my watch is recording, Pool activity is using swim metrics to measure a defined pool lap distance, I was at an outdoor 50m pool, I don't use the open water swim as it is not as accurate…

  • Why is Stat tracking is so unbelievably poor!?

    I cannot believe how poor the stat tracking functionality is in the garmin golf app considering the price of the S70!watches. Simple things such as:

    1. Being able to filter by time period rather than have FIR and GIR stats cover the entire period that…

    I've ran the VAHR along-side an Edge just to see how it compares while biking.
    Vivoactive does not support power meters - not an issue for most people.
    Other than that, the post ride data was pretty much the same once you load it into Garmin Connect…
  • RE: open water swim accuracy on the instinct 2S ?

    Hi Brittal. Did the USB with Garmin express work? I have similar issues, pretty sure it's coming up short on distance and the track on my map is completely straight. Thought it was remote location of the loch I swim in but it's happened on 2 sea swims…

  • RE: Mountain Bike maps and GPS accuracy

    So far the distance on winding MTB trails has been great.  My 1030+ was always short in those conditions.  It may still be slightly short, but much improved.

    The recording rate doesn't matter for distance calculation.  It's the measuring rate that matters…

  • RE: Something is clearly wrong with open water swim in Swimrun-mode.

    Hi

    Just found this thread. I found a similar issue today using triathlon mode compared with open water mode. 


    In open water mode i isually get a very smooth track (almost certainly too smooth) and find distance always comes up about  10pc short. 

    In tri mode the…

  • RE: Either Kim or miles

    So this is kind of a US thing. For short running distances (e.g. less than 1 mile/km, e.g. track events), metres are used as a standard. e.g. Everyone talks about running 100m/200m/400m/800m on a track. For longer distances they use miles.

    Canada is kinda…

  • Yardage out on approach

    Yardages out on s60 approach. I have a range finder & where the pin is at the back of the green and my furthest yardage on my watch is short than the pin distance. When I hit shots, my watch will show 205 yds where on the app it shows a 222 yds on app…

  • RE: Unreliable Turn-by-Turn Notifications

    The courses are usually between 10 and 30k: so distance should not be an issue.


    Not the short issue, then. What is happening, exactly? Do you find they work for a while, then suddenly stop during a course? Or do they just not work at all for some courses…
