      Right after start there was an error with a measurement point in france:

      Would be great if somebody would have an idea to fix this.

        Did your try a soft reset and sync?
        Maybe you have some corrupted agps data

            Obviously what I suggested it’s a possible fix for future issues.

            To modify that specific error you should edit the activity.

              @sartoric thanks
              I edited the activity, at least the data is now correct again and I do not have anymore a walk of 1100km in 5h 😊

                Hi,
                I have a similar problem on my 9 Baro. I noticed that my recorded route has errors. Upon close examination, I found that this has been happening since March and only on the bike. Maybe it’s been wrong even longer, but I’ve only been on the bike in March 🙂
                It’s hardly noticeable in the Suunto App . I noticed it on the Sport Tracker website (see pictures)
                I’m posting a link to one activity. It happens at time 3:16:07.
                https://www.suunto.com/cs-cz/move/pavlas2/604caca9f024d82358e34632
                Any ideas?
                I have the latest firmware.

                    @pavlas are you sure you are not walking/biking around a place with very strong magnets, or GPS jammers of some kind?

                      @isazi Definitely not. It’s different places and always on a bike.
                      The Suunto App ignores these artifacts, which is why I only noticed it now.
                      But in the Sport Tracker web, this crazy thing pops up.

                        @pavlas it may also just a bug of the sports-tracker then. Are your statistics in SA affected? Do you see the distance and speed being crazy? If not, it is a sports-tracker issue and you should contact them.

                          @isazi It’s not Sport Tracker’s problem. Check the link directly.
                          You’ll see the jumps after 3:16:07. But they’re not plotted.

                            @isazi You need to zoom in on that place.

                              @pavlas I zoom and the artifacts are not there. Do you export to Strava or anywhere else also? Are they there?

                                  @isazi Yeah, the artifacts aren’t here, but the jumps are. Try moving your mouse slowly over the timeline at this point.

                                            I was checking on other activities now. So the problem is with all activities 😕 But not always.
                                            And the problem started exactly on March 1st.
