Forerunner 220 not accurate

richardw1972 over 4 years ago

Hello.

I’ve had a Forerunner 220 for a few years now. I’m finding that every run I go on is coming up short vs. both online tools such as Gmap-pedometer.com and mapmyrun.com, and my iPhone. A 10k run can be as much as 500 metres short, so I end up running further than planned to make up the distance.

Is there anything I can do to improve the accuracy of my Forerunner, or should I be looking to replace it? It has the latest software update.

Thanks!

If you've already tried everything here - What Can Cause GPS Accuracy Issues on My Fitness Device?

Try Garmin-Brook's suggestion here - issue with the CPE file on the watch

Follow that with syncing using Garmin Express

The watch was released nearly 8 years ago, so that would certainly help.

Thanks. I might give auto-pause a try.

The model might be eight years old, but I've only had it five :-)
