GPS issues with cycling in version 3.27

8773758 1 month ago

Since updating to version 3.27, when connecting to the phone's GPS and selecting cycling mode, the Smart5 has been displaying a cycling speed even though I haven’t moved the bicycle. Restarting the Smart5 doesn’t resolve this issue.

Hello - The vivosmart 5 uses Connected GPS technology and is limited to the data provided by your phone. My suspicion is that you are experiencing what is known as GPS Drift and the device thinks it is moving small amounts while still.
