scotty Posted November 22, 2011 Share Not sure what the reference to 26 or 29 is, unless Garmin does not work on one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadion Posted November 22, 2011 Share I've had this too on one occasion, landed up on Morocco for a split second If I remember correctly, I took a large jump that day, can't confirm if knocks or sudden accel/deceleration could affect the readings.Perhaps it plays havoc with the way it interprets the altitude/speed/distance?

Tiny K Posted November 22, 2011 Share I see it has been posted but as most will suggest if you Google the problem, they will say '1st make sure you have the latest updates for the unit'. I had the same thing. Did it twice. Both times plotting a point in Antarctica! What was the distance jump? My first one was just under 15000Km, the other just over 14000Km. Makes for an awesome average speed though I just uploaded the activity to mapmyride and edited the route to move the stray point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
