Etrex 32x first point on recorded track "crazy"

[PaulS]

Notice the 363 miles

I erase just the first point and:

any ideas?

The figures don't add up, point one is 320 miles away from point 2 but it only adds 27 minutes to the elapsed time, to do this the GPS would have to travel between points 1 and 2 at 750 miles per hour

The bottom line is that point one is false, this could be because the GPS is storing a false position as it has only just been turned on and it has insufficient satellites to give a correct position, however I wouldn't expect an error in position of hundreds of miles under any circumstances, so it may be that point one was from a previous trip, have you been to that location ?

The strange thing is that the first point is close to the next point (on Base Camp they are next to one another).

 

[PaulS]

Could it be the way I initiate the GPS. When I start a walk I "erase both track and trip data"? Should I do anything more than that?

 

[Nuvi-Nebie]

That is all I would expect to do at the start of a walk, it may be worth doing a factory reset on the 32x but you need to copy all Waypoints, Tracks, Routes etc. from the unit first as they will be erased in the reset process

Restoring All Default Settings
You can reset all settings back to the factory default settings. 
Select Setup > Reset > Reset All Settings > Yes.
