Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

No :-(

It's as straight as a die, perhaps that level of "precision" causes an issue with matching? Though can't in my head see why that would impact it for matching the activity that it was derived from.

I think it might be down to the straightness. It looks like your watch is recording points in a 'smart' way to minimise the size of the data.

The watch records a point approximately every seven seconds along that stretch. On curvier parts of your route, there are smaller gaps between points - but it varies quite a lot. Sometimes there are even longer gaps.

You're travelling at about 8.4 metres per second. This means that you've recorded a point roughly every 59 metres along that stretch. You hit points 1-9 successfully (by registering a data point within 40 metres of each location), but it looks like point 10 was just outside range.

If you can configure your watch to record more data points, I'm pretty sure that would help.

Sadly not, there's no option for that on this watch. Which is odd, as (compared to most others) I see much higher "believability" of traces on my watch than just about any other! Maybe that's the reason why, lots of outliers are discarded.

But how could I not hit a point created from my own trace? Don't all the points on the "mile" come from points in the file, or is there some fuzziness going on?

I've deleted seven miles from the DB where there weren't 10 points, for some reason. And to stop this happening again, it should throw up an error now, rather than creating the mile. Logging it too, so I can try to understand what might cause it.

(Can you tell I've only started exploring this today)

On Sunday's ride I've created a mile which I'm fairly certain I've only ever ridden twice - Sunday and May last year. I've validated this by sullying myself over at another website which has segments which more or less match this location.

But according to the mile page it shows that I've done it 4 times?
