You could submit a better representation of what you did manually. Running in and out of the circle in two different places should help to avoid such problems. Clearly, going as near to the middle as possible is a good idea. Hindsight, eh.

I.e. where you thought you were when running, determined by on-the-ground side streets and other features, because the map was off you were actually where your GPS decided you were, or vice versa you were in the right place but your GPS wasn't.

Flatlander Oct 2023 9:06am, 10 Oct 2023 2,933 posts	Quote Pin Flatlander you could use the Fetch Route Planner to measure how far the edge of your circle is from an obvious landmark on the map which is also visible on the ground, then when you go out use your Garmin or other GPS device to walk that distance from the landmark. Bear in mind that the Fetch distance might be slightly different from the walked/GPS distance, so add a bit more to make sure you go out of your circle.
