(Known Issue) GPS accuracy on Jan 01 2021?

Similar behavior on my run today- entire course was offset ~200m west. Definitely odd as first day of the year, especially first day of the year after a leap year...

Same everywhere. Different models and manufacturers. I think we're all well informed now, but you can never have enough "me too's". :)

Same everywhere.
