Red line when navigating? Why?
-
The red line should be what you traveled - looks like you don’t have a good GPS signal - or forgot to start your watch after a break?
-
Does it happen always? I only had this the first time using. I toggled between screens and it was gone.

It happens sometimes on my Race 1, stays a few seconds then disappears. I believe it is some rendering issue, where the watch initially connects two points with a line, then draws the full registered path between them. Waiting a few seconds, using the zoom or toggling between data screen resolves the issue (in my case)

@SergioB thank you… The red line remained the entire hike. Even zooming didn’t change anything. The red line also had nothing to do with the track… the navigation worked well only was additionally this line in the picture.

@larrybbaker The navigation had worked well and the track was also saved.

Oh, I just see that the Watch has navigated perfectly during the hikes but no altitude data is available during the recording and the track as such is not visible in the app.

@larrybbaker You’re right, probably the GPS signal was bad… I just started the track with navigation again. Now the red line is no longer there… Thank you

@Sascha-Domres The red line showing where you’ve traveled begins populating as soon as the watch picks up a GPS signal while on the activity start screen, even before you press start. So if you load an activity start screen while traveling to a trailhead, for example, to “prime” the GPS, you’ll see that trace on the map screen once you start the activity.
I don’t think that’s what happened to you, though. In this case, it looks like the initial GPS lock was way off to the west of where you began. As the GPS zeroed in, it connected those dots, drawing the red line across the map.

@duffman19 Thank you, curiously, the navigation still worked exactly. But it makes sense what you explain. Thank you
