      No issues for me in the past few days, but next update will also have GPS firmware updates.

        @isazi The contours were good, but the whole track was displaced.

          @surfboomerang I have only seen that happen with wrong (not as not updated, but wrong) AGPS data.

            @isazi only time I have seen this was indeed with the huge Sony AGPS issue 1-2 years ago. Hopefully the reboot worked for the next activity

              Run yesterday had a good 20m offset as youve reported, for first 10 mins.

                Fingers crossed!

                  @stromdiddily This is odd, I travel a reasonable amount and this does not happen to me. For example on my last race I had not used the Vertical in quite some time. I charged it for the race and started off. The last time I used the Vertical was a week before near my home. Here is the beginning of the Race located 800km away from home. I have not seen this when traveling.

                    That’s what has me thinking there might be something up with mine. Folks are raving about the accuracy and if this was a common occurrence, someone else would have brought it up (5k, dc, etc)

                      I agree and would wait for the firmware update coming this fall. That will give you a good reboot as well. If this continues I would definitely contact support. I will look back through my files but I cannot remember an issue like this with my Vertical using either production firmware or newer FT firmware.

                        For the record.
                        Reboot did the trick. The recorded track is spot-on again.

                          New firmware and after a factory reset for my battery drainage problem. Second run after all that and first at this location so basically the same symptoms as before w offset tracks 😞

                          I sent my logs to Suunto today. Not sure if I have a problem but with my experience I certainly would not describe the GPS accuracy as groundbreaking or phenomenal 😞
