Pieter1 Posted April 8, 2017 Share On the watch I changed data recording from smart to every second. Is that the setting? Does it affect the hr sensor?[/quote No, inly gps. What exactly is the issue? Gps inaccurate? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYea. I walked along the road. Not all over the show. I see closer towards the end it is more accurate. I waited for the watch to say it has signal. Should I stand still a little longer before starting an activity? Seems like even tho the watch said aal is ready the gps only really kicked in a bit later.

Pieter1 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Sorry guys, this again. I'm new to the watch so not sure what to make of it. I tried it again with all the settings on. Took a short stroll to the veggie store. The buildings around me are at most 7 stories high and it is a standard double lane street. Is there something wrong with the watch or is it the environment? The start and stop points are both wrong and the whole thing looks like I just came out of preslies on a students night. I can't imagine this is how the watch is suposed to perform.

Im sure there was something along those lines with tall buildings being a problem. Doesnt bode well for the legendary Garmin tracking though.

Pieter1 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Autopause is off. Did the update when I got it last week. Version 4.20. Thanks I'll work through all of that info. How are your watches doing if you use them in the city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just be that when you do this Jupiter will align with Mars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
