So various Wahoo computers have a GPS bug that just got activated for everyone. I noticed that my Elemnt was showing the time as being one hour behind the actual time. I thought that was extremely odd because it gets the time from GPS and having very accurate clocks is essential to the way GPS figur…

I had the same yesterday. The clock was out and the GPS tracking was all over the place on my ride - following a route was impossible (fortunately I was in a group so didn’t have to rely on it) and the ride map it produced when I uploaded at the end was nonsense.

My ride map actually seems fine, but the 2006 date had to be corrected. It’s frustrating that Strava doesn’t allow more ride file corrections.

Interesting. I did outdoor ride yesterday and used my Bolt v2 and all looks to be in order. GPS data, time, length etc. I’m based in Germany. Just wondering if this is only related to certain regions maybe???

Looks to only affect v1 devices. @dcrainmaker has the details on his site.

Yeah V1 only affected, both my wife and I have been affected, its an annoyance not having the data to see but more importantly we both use the tracker side to make sure we are safe, with this so wildly inaccurate at the moment I’m more disappointed at this. Latest info from Wahoo is they are testing…

Did a 2 hours race yesterday. Ended up with my Wahoo clocking 2 hours at 291 NP, but 0 km.. Yes, the race was outdoors. A bit lucky I could see my power, cause spent almost half the race in a solo break with no idea on how fast I was going. Did not do a difference, but still special.

I’m also affected, I first noticed the issue three days ago when my Bolt v1 wouldn’t stay locked onto the GPS satellites. I initially assumed the GPS antenna was faulty, and was “glad” it was only a software problem. This morning my time would alternate between the correct time and being 1 hour beh…
