(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?

Not impacting everyone, but it is a system-wide issue impacting multiple device types, not only Garmin devices.

I had this problems too (Fenix 6X Pro FW 22.10) - first time 28/6/2022 and 3/7/2022.

Yes. My CPE status is stated as current. Software was updated to 10.40 weeks ago. Apart from watch faces, I have made no changes to any settings this year. GPS was heavily off today, not just a slight shift to one side, on a route that my 245 normally gets right.

Forerunner 245 was great till now.

CPE stated current.

Not just me having this type of issue 60-70 of my training friends having the same issue. Really considering coros now. Garmin have been fking with us after the multi band system is out.

How do we do that? Opening a case I mean? Seems like it's affecting a lot of devices.

I have the same problem! 03.07.2022 22:00 running (GF 945) GPS show wrong position. After 20 minutes from start position moved about 200 meters west. This shift lasted until the end of the training.

Same issue also at Anzio. I swim a lot, but I'm not Jesus to walk on the water.

Yesterday I had the same issue during an open water swimming.

10 hours ago my watch seems no GPS for a few minutes for two times and the map shows it suddenly jump to another side for 1k distance which is a hill but I was actually running along sea side. The wrong GPS shift gave me a 3000+ Total Ascent -_-

mine is 245 and the setting is GPS+Galileo. Version 10.10

i was using only GPS but changed to gps + Galileo because the day before was not able to get full gps signal (green circle) right before start which forced me to make the change.

I had the same issue yesterday. 15/20 minutes into the walk it moved 500+m to the north east. 30 minutes later it went back to where I actually was.

Previously the whole run was off by 300m to the east.
