GPS stops tracking after first 1km …

Elevation keeps going, hr keeps going, pace stops. Looking at previous activities and it happens often, including areas where straight lines are drawn instead of following the road. Case logged but would like to know if anyone else has this issue.

Probably good to try a few more activities to see if it is a repeat.

Reboot the watch first.

Hi there

I have not seen this before.

What FW are you on? What app is it (Running, Walk, Hike, Ultra?) What watch? (955 / Sola)

FR955 and I have the latest firmware. Tried reboot. Wondering if it's the the garmin watch face builder ?

I would be surprised if it was. But you could try to switch to one of the standard watch-faces and give it a go.

Did you perhaps exit the activity back to watch face during the activity? That can unlink the GPS

No as the whole exercise period is recorded. If I ended it it would not have recorded the elevation data for the whole trip. So lets say my walk is 1 hour, GPS drops at 30min, but all other stuff keeps going until the hour ends ! Driving me nuts !! screwing up my data.

You seem to be the only one with the problem - What are your GPS version and CIQ Versions?

I've found this problem on reddit too with a golfer. Im dealing with the Garmin engineers now, and have uploaded the watches data. Ill report back. GPS: 2.37 CIQ 4.1.4

Garmin has opted to replace my unit, as the GPS data is very out of whack. Seems I literally have a dud.
