Hi

I have noticed that my on water Speedsurfing data as displayed on the Coros watch and mobile app, is understated vs the result as calculated by GPSspeedsailing processing a .gpx.

I have reviewed the data sec by sec and the GPSspeedsailing processing is correct.

for example today on water the Coros Speedsurfing app reported a 2 sec max 30.79 knots

vs GPSspeedsailing 2 sec max 33.29 knots

Any ideas / reasons.

Hi Craig,

The reason is simple: the .GPX files are only the data points. No Doppler, no Kalman corrections. The .FIT file is the only thing you need: 100% Doppler and it has all the necessary data fields. So, forget about the .GPX files in Coros for speed surfing (if you plan a bike route .GPX is usefull). In GPS Results you can load the .FIT files and make your usual analytics. PS: already using the auto upload to gps-speedsurfing.com?

thank you. 100% correct.- Coros Speeding app is reporting "record' alert and data max's perfectly in real time - all line up with .fit file as processed by GPSSpeedsurfing. I have linked Coros for auto upload to gps-speedsurfing.com for future session. Thanks again.

Hi Craig, 

Good to hear it's fine now. I made a small manual for Coros Speedsurfing mode, if you want I it please sent an email to ingolfje@hotmail.com

Hi Craig,

I have the same problem and will move to .FIT now. However, two days ago, I used a Motion GPS which gave me an average of the 5 best 500 m runs nearly 1 kn faster than the faster 500m measured by Coros. Not very convincing, it seems.  Thanks for any idea.

Hi Craig,

Can you please sent the 2 track-files to us via info@gps-speedsurfing.com? We have seen it more often the the motion is a bit more positive, partly caused by the logging frequency difference and some unkonws but this difference is huge and we would like to learn from it.  

Thanks

Hi Dylan, unfortunately, I do not have the logs. The organizers of a speed competition provided the motion devices and photographed the final results which deviated from my watch as described above.

I will try to do some proper tests once I received a motion...

Another anomoly with the Corros is the Alpha as displayed on the watch usually shows up as 2-3 knots faster than the fial Fit file results posted. My last session watch shows 24.96 official reported 22.1 Would be nice to have a reading closer to the reported. Apart from that the rest seems close to the MiniMotion +- 0.2 knots 

@all, thnx for the feedback, the issues observed around the alpha are already under investigation to Coros, feel free to drop them also a line at support@coros.com
