Can anyone explain why my Garmin is so inaccurate on the track? It is great in road races etc but it always measure the track longer than it is. I did 12 laps of the track last night which is 4800 meters. My Garmin measured it as 5067 so 267 meters too long. I did run around a couple of groups but mostly I was on the inside lane. I have noticed this before and just wondered if anyone has any Idea why it would be inaccurate on the track but almost spot on on the roads?

try importing the data into something like SportTracks. They seem to have far better algorytthms for analysing the data than the garmin itself. It will also let you see if you have any rogue data points so you can correct them.
fwiw, mine is always almost spot-on on the track.

Import Training From Garmin You can now grab training directly from your Garmin Communicator to fill your FE training log. If your Garmin is not already plugged in, do it now, then refresh this page. The system will automatically search your Garmin and highlights runs that it thinks you might want to upload.

I also had a problem downloading my Garmin training onto Fetch yesterday. Was able to connect and it found the sessions and was even able to get the table up as to select which runs i wanted to download and selected detail report and was able to import, but when it had done importing all i got instead of the usual notifcation was you have succsesfully imported Run - that's it, it actually did not import anything. Any ideas?
