Hi,
I am having a problem with eCoach. I record a track, and the .gpx file that is generated is then imported into SportTracks (free sports software with mapping, etc., ).
But, the distance recorded always seems to be too high. A 1km walk becomes 1.5km, every day. I can correct this manually but it's irritating. When I see the map, the drawing of the route is very jumpy, and I am thinking that all the little jumps left and right slightly are adding to the distance considerably.
Has any else experienced this problem? I will try and reduce the GPS update time tomorrow to 20 seconds (it was at 5 seconds). Hopefully it will pick up the run/walk in more straight lines then. I would like to know if anyone else has noticed this, or what settings and software they are using for eCoach.
