GPS offset by many meters
-
did anyone ask if there was updated recently? You may know that there is a daily file with some adjustments that sony is sending to alltheir chipsets throw the apps… so it’s very recommended to sync mobile/watch everyday…

I do that multiple times per day
To my understanding not synching the watch results in longer gps lock times . Offset of that magnitude is the first time I come across at.

@thanasis While commuting I am getting through the same road, with the same watch
Although haven’t noticed any issues. I have noticed though in other cases some offset, also with Garmin GPS handled device, but I reckon it’s a matter of GPS signal quality, satellite availability, weather and surrounding conditions that for some reason or another can differ on some days or moments. I recall days on hiking where the return route is even on the exact same steps and the final route shows difference between go/back ways. I think the last to blame is the software in this case. Anyway, I second @Łukasz-Szmigiel, and wouldn’t be that much bothered in such not life/death situations

Anyway , I treat this as a random thing and will monitor it for the future.
thanks
