      Maybe I’m a stickler, but there’s a problem here.

      Or maybe not, but you can always contact support

        @mff73 No, it’s not really a Sport Tracker problem. There really is a GPS problem 🙂
        Try checking the times and kilometers in my link
        3:16:07 - 40.86 km
        3:16:34 - 41.22 km
        ! 3:17:01 - 40.98 km !
        3:17:27 - 41.44 km

        Effectively, something strange in SA as well.

          @mff73 hmmm, interesting. It’s fine in my SA.
          I think the profile is fine. It’s not public.

            you can zoom in the graphs in SA (pinch to zoom horizontally), you will find it is not fine.
            And your profile with minus 1km, if it is fine for you, perfect 🙂

              @mff73 Oh, I didn’t know that. Then it’s not okay 😁
              Then the question is whether the problem is with my watch or SA. I’m using the beta version. 4.41.1

                        @pavlas I suggest you to contact support, what you have is not normal and I don’t remember anyone on the forum having something like this. So better contact support, they can check if there is something wrong with your watch.

                          @isazi I’ll try after the weekend.
                          Maybe more people have this problem but haven’t noticed. Actually, it’s not visible. The route looks good, the distance is right, the time is right. The problem is only visible in Sport Tracker.

                            I really don’t think a lot of people have this issue… we would know that in this forum. If people have this issue and do not try to get rid of it, I think they have just too much money and don’t know what to do with it 😜

                              @freeheeler I’ll try a factory reset yet. If that doesn’t work, I’ll try Suunto support.

                                I was just checking my wife’s Suunto 5. And I found the exact same error 😬

                                      Based on the last graphs it doesn’t look as a GPS error to me (HR graph ? ) … maybe some sort of electrical/magnetic interference ?

                                          Right, why would the GPS affect also HR?

                                            @isazi correct.
                                            So what could affect all the data?
                                            A time issue (either in display or recording)
                                            What else?
