My Garmin 245 has stopped recording routes.

To be fair I haven’t used it much recently, it’s got the distance, time, and pace right,

but the tracking is completely wrong, random and only a few hundred metres, plus no elevation data

What’s going on with it?

Do I just need to leave it switched on outside for a bit?

Sounds odd - I've had nothing like that with mine. I take it you're getting the green GPS lock before setting off?

I had this on my 55 a couple of times. Hold down the light button i think for 15 seconds, should do a reset. Worked for me.

Haven't got time to do the research but on my 45 (similar watch) because I didn't have it turned on for a few weeks it completely lost all of its satellite positions, and no amount of syncing would fix it

I found (a lot of info) some info online about deleting a file off the watch on the computer which then forces it to download a brand new FULL set of gps coordinates

No idea if it's that but could be worth trying anyway

however, weird that it's tracking the data - not a gps problem is it.......
