GPS tracked by Sense 2 not accurate

The last couple of runs on a regular route my fitbit has been adding about 25% on to the mileage - looks great for total miles but really annoying - anyone has similar issue or know a way to correct this?

Hello, @whydidibother, welcome to the community!

Thanks for letting me know about this situation in regards with the GPS of your Sense 2.

All devices with GPS sensors require a direct path to GPS satellites to calculate location. A weak GPS signal might affect the accuracy of your route and other activity data. Your device uses your step count to calculate distance until it finds a signal, so the total distance calculated for a workout may be slightly less accurate when GPS isn't available for the entire time, for example, if you're in a place with lots of buildings, this can impact the GPS tracking, make you sure you're wearing the Sense 2 correctly.

If you haven't done so already, please make sure to follow the steps suggested in this article to improve GPS accuracy. Let me know how it goes.
