OS in the UK have the rights to the 50k 25k and even 10k mapping. No doubt it would take endless agreements and licences and money to use this data but those minor things aside could topofusion pull data from a local source.

Archived Support / Direction lag

I did a quick circuit which included stopping off to buy a newspaper.

The track implies I went past the shop and then came back then carried on.

Also when I turned a corner a similar thing the track shows I overshot crossed the road then retraced my steps and carried on on the correct route.

Is this "the continue in a straight line unless it I know otherwise" Garmin firmware trying to fill in where satellite lock has been lost?

Any thoughts.

If this is the case is the Garmin measurement going to be based on the distance it thinks it has gone?

Archived Support / UK / Europe coverage

Hardware manufacturers don't seem to make software that matches the hardware. Like the Garmin logbook software. So to get a reasonable package you have to look elsewhere.

Is it possible to test the logbook feature? If this works with the Forerunner its just a question of the mapping coverage.

What do other European customers do.
