FR945 GPS Accuracy on a Running Track

Former Member over 5 years ago

I ran 4 laps - always in the outermost lane (i.e. lane 6, having this track only 6 lanes) and this is what I got...

Also I got a distance of 1850m. In theory, lane 6 should be 438m long (en.wikipedia.org/.../Running_track so I should have run 1750m and my FR945 is 100m off on a less-than-2km run...

According to a couple of friends of mine this "accuracy" is not acceptable (but they dont have FR945).

What do you think...? Do you think my watch has a problem or this kind of "accuracy" is what I should expect?

In any case, I am not impressed at all...
