Hi John,

Thanks for that explanation, that makes sense. I think I will try a run along the coast which obviously is isnt built up and no trees so should get good satellite reception and see if the distances match up.

thanks, Valerie.

Hi,

No, i haven't been through any particularly built up areas or densely wooded and dont normally pause it when out, just stop and start at the beginning/end of the run.  I have run on many different routes now with it and when uploading to GRG it always adds on distance. And its not the flat route equivalent, for example today i ran 6.79 miles according to the garmin, uploaded it to GRG and it says 6.97 miles and gives the flat route equivalent as 7.11 miles !

Hi Valerie,

Did you stop and start the watch or run through some densely wooded or built up areas?

Hi, I upload my garmin to the GRG website but have noticed that the website always adds on distance to each run. e.g. today i did a 5.2 mile (according to the garmin) but when i upload to website, it says it was 5.4 miles. It seems the longer the run, the more distance is added - I did a 20 miler a couple of weekends ago, but uploading it it became 21 miles.  

Has anyone else noticed this when uploading runs, and does anyone know why this happens?

You should be able to do them one after the other using the upload tab, without unpugging the garmin.

Kate, have you tried uploading to Garmin Training Centre (all in one go) then importing into GRG from there? That's how I used to have to do it from my 110 until the guys added FIT file compatability.
