(Known Issue) GPS accuracy on Jan 01 2021?

I've got the problem in AU

Last I checked I didn't run through the water, or the 47 buildings on the way. ;)

This was Saturday, Jan 2nd.

jan 1st at the bottom. Jan 2nd at the top. Same run.

The problem (for me) and this workaround is that it assumes the entire run is offset by a consistent amount.  That hasn't been my experience.

I'm probably just going to have to wait until the files are updated, knowing that the recent activities' map is inaccurate.  This isn't a deal killer.

That’s a fair challenge - my offset was consistent through the run, so the solution worked.  I do think it’s unlikely Garmin will update the files though...in my experience they treat data as empirical, therefore we should all still hope the fix comes through soon!

I actually just updated it with two spaces per indent, so correct.

In order to run it, you’ll need python downloaded onto your machine, the code in a script (called say, gpx.py) and in a folder with the file you want to adjust.

I found out the adjustment by looking at a previous run’s gpx file and calculating the offset from the first lat / lon records in files.  These were then updated in gpx.py along with the input filename.

from a shell / DOS print, I then ran the script (python gpx.py), and hey presto, it created a file called “output.gpx” I could upload into Strava after I’d deleted the run in there.

Simpleish!

any idea why it'd be highlighting the letter "f" in "finally" and saying "syntax error"? Thanks for your help. This is all in the name of getting a PR after 47 attempts on a mountain climb...haha

Would you mind to share the gpx.py to download since i try to run python, it shows SyntaxError: invalid syntax (gpx.py, line 1)

I'm zero script knowledge base but hope to fix my yesterday gps track record. Thank you very much.

Tested this morning a few times and GPS location is spot on correct. CPE is updated.

If there is an error on line 1, then your computer (iOS / Linux) isn’t finding your Python executable.  I was using Windows, with the python executable in my class path, but if you’re using e.g. Linux you need something like this.

...try a python tutorial. I learnt it in two hours!
