GPS suddenly became really bad

Former Member over 4 years ago

Hi! Until today the gps-recordings from my watch has been as normal. But on my morning run today the gps was really bad. The shape of recordings looks not to bad (but not perfect), but it is offset south by approx. 400 metres. This run was with GPS+Glonass, like I normally have. I ran together with a friend, and his gps-recording was normal.

I tried a new run this evening. This time with only GPS. The result was even worse. In the end I was east of where I was running in the beginning, but the watch is showing opposite.

Have anyone else experienced something similiar? Any idea of what has happened? I have been using 4.40 since it was published with no problems until today.

Also had a similar problem with GPS being offset at the start of an activity. Has never happened with FR945 before. Running version 4.41

Have you tried some the fixes from the Garmin Support site? Alternatively, you can try refreshing the satellite cache by syncing with Garmin Express or doing a factory reset.

The same for me. So far I had no GPS problems with all versions including 4.41. Until yesterday. GPS was 100-200 meters away from the real path.

I updated the "Coverage" cards with Garmin Express yesterday, but not the "TopoActive". Maybe that's the problem.

I did a factory reset. It looks like that solved the problem. The gps recordings where normal again today.

I did a hard reset and this worked for now. Today GPS is OK
