Hi folks,
Like many of us, my Forerunner 245 was affected by the software update that caused major GPS drift. It improved after about two weeks of troubleshooting with Garmin. However, it is now drifting again. Garmin is telling me that it's "within their acceptable margin of error" but it is drifting enough that while running with a friend on the same route right next to each other, my Strava doesn't recognize segments and my watch recorded over 400' in elevation compared to my friend. (She has a Suunto)
I am troubleshooting with Garmin once again and now they are telling me I have to record my GPS point every second. I've had this watch for about 3 years and never had my watch set to measure each second before, in the interest of extending battery life. I'm really frustrated that this is their final "fix" which isn't really a fix at all. If this is the only way to get an accurate recording, why even offer the intermittent gps recording? I know watches can deteriorate with time but it seems very sudden and I started with all these issues right after the new software push.
Has anyone found anything else to be helpful besides re-starting the watch, re-syncing, and recording gps every second? I also It seems like there is still something going on, but I don't know what else to do. I'm ready to switch brands at this point. :/
In case it helps, my software version says 10.4 and my CPE is current.
Thanks in advance.
