Not an issue, just a bit surprised that it's started showing up a lot recently when I never ever used to hardly see it. I just ignore it, it doesn't impact my plan for next day in any way.

royal jelly Jul 2022 11:35am, 4 Jul 2022 3,255 posts	royal jelly I only get the message about having had a good sleep my recovery has been speeded up! Being a streaker I have to ignore recovery advisor anyway!

larkim Jul 2022 12:50pm, 4 Jul 2022 18,199 posts	larkim Is there any definitive source that I can use to dispel the myths going around particularly on reddit that the current (actually happening) magnetic space storm is affecting worldwide gps signals, particularly for runners I shouldn't care, and it's probably the absence of anything from the NASA, whoever runs Gallileo, Glonass etc which tells the story. But it's developing into a urban myth that whatever is happening with some people's GPS traces is entirely down to sun spots / magentic issues.

flanker Jul 2022 1:26pm, 4 Jul 2022 20,646 posts	flanker If you want conspiracy theories... Check that you aren't using GLONAS. As it's the Russian GPS network and used by their military and weapons systems it's being repeatedly targeted by Western military cyber-warfare teams so it gives incorrect information. Which is far more believable than a magnetic space storm causing the problem!
larkim Jul 2022 1:32pm, 4 Jul 2022 18,201 posts	larkim Yep, I've seen that too ("Switch off Glonass and switch back to Galileo, didn't you know there's a war going on"). Actually, I would find that more credible to a degree! My household GNSS expert (he now has a First in such subjects and is currently doing a masters, and thence a PhD) says the magnetic storm stuff is nonsense (mostly) so I'm trusting him and the university education system
