GPS Lock and Offset
-
@stromdiddily for what it is worth: I had a huge GPS drift last two days here in the neighborhood. I have never seen this in years. Rebooted the watch and hopefully it will be gone next activity.
-
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
