      Obviously what I suggested it’s a possible fix for future issues.

      To modify that specific error you should edit the activity.

        @sartoric thanks
        I edited the activity, at least the data is now correct again and I do not have anymore a walk of 1100km in 5h 😊

          Hi,
          I have a similar problem on my 9 Baro. I noticed that my recorded route has errors. Upon close examination, I found that this has been happening since March and only on the bike. Maybe it’s been wrong even longer, but I’ve only been on the bike in March 🙂
          It’s hardly noticeable in the Suunto App . I noticed it on the Sport Tracker website (see pictures)
          I’m posting a link to one activity. It happens at time 3:16:07.
          https://www.suunto.com/cs-cz/move/pavlas2/604caca9f024d82358e34632
          Any ideas?
          I have the latest firmware.

              @pavlas are you sure you are not walking/biking around a place with very strong magnets, or GPS jammers of some kind?

                @isazi Definitely not. It’s different places and always on a bike.
                The Suunto App ignores these artifacts, which is why I only noticed it now.
                But in the Sport Tracker web, this crazy thing pops up.

                  @pavlas it may also just a bug of the sports-tracker then. Are your statistics in SA affected? Do you see the distance and speed being crazy? If not, it is a sports-tracker issue and you should contact them.

                    @isazi It’s not Sport Tracker’s problem. Check the link directly.
                    You’ll see the jumps after 3:16:07. But they’re not plotted.

                        @pavlas I zoom and the artifacts are not there. Do you export to Strava or anywhere else also? Are they there?

                            @isazi Yeah, the artifacts aren’t here, but the jumps are. Try moving your mouse slowly over the timeline at this point.

                                @pavlas we may need @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos to check your activity and see what is going on.

                                      I was checking on other activities now. So the problem is with all activities 😕 But not always.
                                      And the problem started exactly on March 1st.

                                          as said, maybe just a Sport-tracker “bug” (which is not exptected to be SA web site).
                                          if you look at your activity in SA, no errors.

                                            @mff73 No, it’s not really a Sport Tracker problem. There really is a GPS problem 🙂
