(Known Issue) GPS Recorded Track Shifted by FAR with Respect to the Map

I had a weird issue today. It seems that Garmin put my recorded activity track over 300m to the left with respect to where I in fact actually ran. This is the screenshot I got from this activity. It never happened before. Of course, the GPS signal was acquired prior to starting the activity. Is there a way to solve it?

    I have the latest software update 5.50

    I dont know why the gps its not locking, also when I run on Km, its marking on miles. Can you help me on that.

  • Same. Here. The track is perfect but not in any way synchronised with any map.... So it. Turns when I turn but not on the same streets. It is way off in a route I do hundreds of time....

    Yeap, just this morning mine was tracking about 100m off course until it finally met up with the actual course about 1.5kms into the run.. added 100m to my final distance too.. 

    What's going on? I ready to return this thing.

    Today I ran with my new watch.. Did a 5km out and back. Same pathway.  When I checked my run the watch logged that I was running through the suburbs.. completely wrong. Messed with distance and pace.

    I read other topics about this problem. Has anything been sorted? This is crap for a brand new product to be this terrible straight out of the box. My old vivoactive 3 performs better. 

    Is there a solution or am I returning this faulty product?

  • I have the same problem. I have used the Garmin Forerunner 245 music in about noe year. I have never had problem with the GPS except my run yesterday and today. My GPS at my Forerunner was green (ready) when I started these two runs, but the whole activity was registered wrong, with wrong startingpoint, endingpoint and the activity itself. 

    I have the 5.50 version and activated smart data recording. 

  • I have the latest software update 5.50 after that showing incorrect distance, gps properly locked,running in road not any block for gps signals
