[Pavlas]

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

Hi. I had the same strange behavior yesterday , but it seems the sum of km during trip is ok.

@mike-h Looks like more people have this problem.

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

@mike-h more information and a link to the activity would help.

Right, why would the GPS affect also HR?

[Egika]

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

[isazi]

@egika no way to know without access to raw data. Maybe someone at Suunto could check.

Hmmm, nobody help?
I’ve got some more knowledge. My dad had the same problem yesterday. Me too, of course. We were cycling together. He has a Spartan Sport.
I re-examined the trouble spots in the charts. I found that the problem is only in the chart with map. The individual charts are ok. See pictures.
I also checked for trouble spots in QS, Fatmap and Strava. Everything is ok. No jumps in the map, etc.
I see the problem only in SA and SportTracker (same platform?)

@pavlas so it is not your watch. It is either environmental, or a bug in the app. Which version of the app are you using?

[Pavlas]

@isazi I’m on beta 4.41.1. My father has non-beta 4.41.1.
It’s not the environment. The trouble spots are random and different every time. Maybe UFO

@pavlas we are aware of this chart / map issue

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@pavlas can you give me a link for that activity ?

@pavlas thanks. Lets fix this

[Pavlas]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Thank you!

@pavlas is this activity synced from iOS or android ?

[Pavlas]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Android 10

@pavlas thanks. From a quick look it looks like some timestamp issue. Will report back when its fixed

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@pavlas issue is fixed on 4.42 release

The issue was that you had a couple of pauses. Those pauses when they were displayed on the map had a bug that caused this only on the map view.
