@zadow Did you use navigation? What file is with the OK mode? Did you use any ETA custom fields?

Hi Dimi,
No, Navigation was completely OFF. Even the Navigation display was off, not even breadcrumb mode. All three days was tracked with GPS set to OK. I did not change it. and I was not even changing it during the hiking. Mode OK all the time.

Hmmm… you are asking - Did you use any ETA custom fields? - so yes, if I remember correctly, my custom Hiking mode contains ETA fields, just for case that I would need navigation.
But still, navigation was completely off. IMHO, ETA field should not affect GPS accuracy, when navigation is off. If so, than it is clearly pointing to a bug in firmware…no?

@zadow Ok cool. Which link is with Ok mode?

All three

But take Day #2 and Day #3

Day #1 contains a huge pause when we were sitting and eating in a Hut and I was also playing with wathces and setting a bit. So the last two days (#2 and #3) are best for any troubleshooting, I would say

Thank you and have a nice day!

From a quick look it does not look like OK mode. SAmples are every ~1-5s

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Exactly. And that is what I am referring to. I am more than 100% sure that GPS accuracy was set to OK. I checked that many times during tracking as I was noticing quick battery drain.
I noticed this problem some time ago, I tried soft reset and then again, set it to OK. Still logging frequency is too high and definitely not 60 seconds. And that is the reason why I wanted to report is as a bug. I am not sure what more I should try to fix it, from the user perspective.

I am not sure now as well.

I need one more confirmation from you.

a) USe the same profile / settings and do a little walk more than 15minutes
b) use a default sport mode eg walking with the OK setting and do a walk of more than 15mins

Post here the results.

I might be able to create a case then

You mean same settings as I used on hiking trip, right?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@zadow yes just to make sure it’s not a specific sport mode thingy

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Problem solved
I tested default walking activity with GPS set to OK and everything was correct. Then I deleted my custom hiking mode and recrected it again with exactly same settings. Et voila, it worked. Samples every 60 seconds. So, there must have been some quirk in my previous custom hiking mode. Now it works as expected and I am happy user again

Thanks and have a nice day!

@zadow Great to hear so. Strange though.
If there is any issue again please post here so we can check it !

Have a super duper nice day
