Hi,

since updating to IOS app 3.5 I have noticed, that for the first kilometer of gps tracked runs wrong data is recorded 

- initially indicated speed (km per minute) is shown correctly

- after a few minutes the speed currently reduces significantly and after a couple of more minutes returns to normal for the rest of the run

 

Nothing dramatic, but still odd... Has anybody else noticed this?

 

Have seen this now in three consecutive runs without changing the actual running speed

 

Best regards,
Sascha

I appreciate the information and details that were shared in your post. To better assist you with this, can you please let me know which iOS mobile device you're currently using? This situation was experienced after updating the Fitbit app? If you haven't already done so, please check the information that's specified on: How accurate is GPS? and after taking it into consideration, please let me know how it goes.

 

Looking forward to your rpely, let me know if you have any additional questions.
