Vivoactive 4 GPS

Kuba
over 4 years ago

Hi, can I get some help? I bought a garmin Vivoactive 4 and from the beginning something is wrong with the GPS, running instead of showing that I'm running on the road it shows that I'm running through the bushes or on the crossroads, on the tracks and I'm going no route in total does not coincide with the real run, friends do not have this problem so I do not know what is caused by thisI've synced with garmin connect before running as well as garmin express, I've tried different GPS settings but it doesn't help either, I'm uploading some routes to see how it looks

connect.garmin.com/.../6120805578

connect.garmin.com/.../6100959806

connect.garmin.com/.../6040992049 Please see here, GPS went completely over the edge, nothing matches

Please help me or give me some advice

Greetings

    I have the same problem with height. Earlier everything was fine, but today are huge distortions.

    I have no idea what this could be caused by, I am hoping for a solution, maybe GPS updates will be available

    I also experienced inaccurate GPS signal when running with my vivoactive 4.  As you can see from the image, I was running the same route for multiple times, but the GPS signal drifts dramatically and it showed me running through residential building.  I am using GPS + GLONASS mode.  I actually tried GPS, GPS + GLONASS, GPS + GALILEO, but have similar result.  If I remember correctly, the GPS was fine few weeks ago, I wonder if there is some bugs on the latest GPS software (v4.8).

    I also think there is something wrong with the GPS software and I am curious if there will be an update soon .... because it should not look like this, at least from garmin you expect good accuracy

    Garmin is aware of an issue that may have caused poor GPS accuracy. This issue has been corrected. Sync your device via the Garmin Connect app or Garmin Express to automatically download a new GPS file to your device. You can also perform a GPS soak for at least 5 minutes.

    It's me again, today I was out for a walk and the gps went totally crazy the sky was clear and the scratch on the map jumps from one side of the street to the other .... htt ps://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/6310701275  Will Garmin finally make some update ? Or knows about the problem ? Something is known because this is getting embarrassing
