Differences in total distances between an Edge 830 and a Fenix watch...

I have a Fenix Sapphire solar which I wear while mountain biking and all my bikes have either the Edge 830/1030 or 1040 biking computers... In this case I was using my 830 and went for a nice ride through the woods in man made trails. Both the watch and the edge 830 were started at the same time/place but at the end of the run according to the downloaded data the total distance was NOT the same by more than one kilometre... What is the reason for this?

Cranky... I got the speed sensor and did the calibration... Used Ant+ to connect it to the 830 and did some testing and it seems to be working accurately with the GPS turned "OFF" on the 830. Question, If I turn the GPS sensor back "ON" will the 830 revert back to using the GPS signal for measuring or will the speed sensor once connected have priority over the GPS?

If a speed sensor is paired it is used for speed/distance instead of the GPS. A speed sensor has priority.

Wongataa, thank you... That's what I thought and it makes perfectly sense.
