Offset GPS tracks

Went for a run today and had GPS offset issues similar to those that occurred at the turn of the year. Anyone else experienced this.

Track started off about 200m to the north east and only corrected after about 50 minutes.

Is there any option to correct track?

Update: a GPS Soak of at least 5 Minutes should also work.

it is hard to soak GPS standing still when there is -15C outside :)

Hi Kerlaz, could you attach a screenshot of the map from today?

Had the same (similar) problem today for the first run. The second run was fine.

At this time an official statement has been put out.

Garmin is aware of an issue that may cause poor GPS accuracy. This issue has been corrected. Your device will need to download a new GPS file. Your watch will automatically download this file from the Garmin Connect app within the next 24 hours.

This again? GPS was on green, but in the evaluation at the beginning 100m NW from my position, after 1 h at the end 150m NE. That can be quite annoying.

CPE is up to date
