• 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…
  • Chip shot club path and AoA detection

    Hi,

    Been working on my chipping recently and I noticed that the R10 (up to date) does not pick up the angle of attack neither club path / face angle for short chip short (15/20 meters).

    Tried to change device height as well as distance from the ball…

  • RE: Accelerometer, pace and GPS

    Just put my old Adidas SDM4, and without calibration, it seemed to be within 1 to 2% of the real distance. The Fenix was more like like 5 to 6% too short, and the Suunto 9 was 16% (!!!) too short (but challenging short loop around my office). So I guess…

    Is this available for the Instinct_apac version? Copying the gupdate.gcd file to my Instinct doesn't do anything.
    I am stuck on version 2.90 and have the GPS distance bug. Meaning I cannot use the watch for activity tracking (my route has a short tunnel…
  • RE: 2022 Europe Mapping?

    Has anyone had routing issues with this maps ? I am trying to understand if my issues come from this update or beta update.

    right now my device make crazy routings, not accepting the settings I make (like short distance).

    unfortunately I don’t have the…

    Hi! I love the idea of the Instinct (I love camping, backpacking, kayaking, skiing, etc.), but the one sport I’m really serious about is short distance/multi-stroke type swimming (i.e. Michael Phelps, but not even remotely in the same league )…
