Vivoactive 4. Sudden GPS issue

Hello

I'm using vivoactive 4 for running trekking. It was pretty accurate for last 4 month. Last time a ran was on June 9th. then i didn't run for ~1.5 month and now, when i return to run, i noticed GPS accuracy decreased for some reason. I tried to change GPS-> GPS+Glonass-> GPS+Galileo. No change in accuracy.

I'm not sure, but i think in this 1.5 month, that i didn't run, i had some watch update.

What can i do to increase watch accuracy?

I attached two images, before and after

thank you

Mine has looked like the "after" picture since I bought the watch over a year ago.

For a GPS company to have a GPS watch with this kind of error is beyond me, But on the other hand you should see the tracks if you have a Garmin watch that does not have GPS and uses your phones GPS. It's wild.

It depends on which phone you have. Some phones have quite decent tracking. I have noticed that some of the mid range GPS watches from Garmin's competitors have less accurate tracking than VA4 when we have activities together, so it is not all that bad. Still, it was better on my Vivoactive HR.
