Any hope for improving GPS track?

@brad_olwin Yup, that’s best GPS. Your RMNP tracks are pretty rough, but the Dakota Ridge ones look acceptable. I don’t know why my S7 tracks in wide open, treeless spaces are so poor.
-
@randy-penn The RMNP tracks are rough because I used 10s fix and FusedTrack doesn’t work with skiing, not a good combo. I can show you many trail runs where S9 and S7 are indistinguishable.

@brad_olwin How about some hikes? I don’t do too much on foot where I’m moving faster than about 3-3.3 mph

Hi, i Have a question about Fusedtrack…
On hiking,then low speed,with GPS at 10 sec. Does It work? And how…well?
Thanks! -

Very few, about everything I can show you has great tracks, sorry. I do very little hiking or walking.
-
@brad_olwin I’m coming to the conclusion that low speed is the issue with this watch and poor GPS tracks. Should be fixable, as virtually all other watches with the same chipset provide good tracks. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it gets fixed somewhere along the way. Thanks for the info!

Here is an example of S7 and S9 onFusedTrack. The 7 is better, I think in red. We were moving slowly here.

@randy-penn my walk 2 days ago had no issue despite me walking slow

Agree.
Most of mine are walking or paddling, so nothing major speed wise - usually under 6km/hr.
And yes occasionally you hit the odd bump/hiccup, but generally find the track is easily within the river/canal while paddling, and while the walking track my wander slightly from side to side on the road, it virtually always gets it right. I occasionally get the odd bump /hiccup - maybe one in 5/6 tracked activities.Don’t foget that GPS fixes are normally only accurate to around 5m - so even with great fix to numerous satellites, still not going to be perfect.
