GPS plot and distance out post 3.20/updated GPS software.

Darren_Aylward over 3 years ago

Hi. My Venu SQ music updated to 3.20 and the latest GPS software this afternoon but having done so, run distance and route plot are way out. On closer inspection I can see why, large chunks of the route are plotted as straight lines and do not follow the curves of the route run. Additionally, I noticed on several occasions during the run that the pace was showing 0:00! Being as I waited for a GPS lock as I normally do before starting an activity I can only assume the latest software or GPS software are the cause. Anyone else having these issues? Are there any steps I can take to rectify this i.e. a software rollback or the like?

Hello all-

The FAQs I have linked below seem to be helpful when troubleshooting GPS issues with customers.

What Can Cause GPS Accuracy Issues on My Fitness Device?

Improving GPS Accuracy, Distance and Speed Readings on a Instinct Watch (this may be useful even for non-Instinct watches)

I find that THE most important thing is being 100% sure that GPS has connected before starting the timer and beginning my activity. I, personally, like to do a 2 minute+ soak (after GPS has connected) before I start my activity. This works well for me, plus my legs appreciate the extra time so stretch.
