Sam Jelfs Jan 2021 7:39pm, 2 Jan 2021 851 posts	Sam Jelfs When I started my activity this morning I noticed that my F6 had me off about 100m or so to one side. By the time I was actually ready to start a few minutes later (getting changed in a random car park) it had sorted it's self out. Lucky really as i needed it for navigation.
Badger Jan 2021 7:39pm, 2 Jan 2021 13,317 posts	Badger The files don’t even have the same name, so unlikely either that the format for different chipsets is identical. In the past at least with the SIRF chips they’ve been supplied by the manufacturer of the chip. Chip licensing costs appeared to vary with how long an ephemeris file you received, so you had units like the Leikr which only loaded 6 hours worth of data. Should have been a brilliant device, but really wasn’t. Sounds as though other manufacturers using the same chip are having similar issues, though of course that doesn’t really narrow it down to firmware, file content, or a fault in the file format stopping the watch making sense of it (whoever may have generated it).

The_Saint Jan 2021 9:16pm, 2 Jan 2021 6,673 posts	The_Saint I have tried the suggested workaround to update the CPE, gave it 10 minutes - no deal. Forerunner 245 non-music.
