G'day all.
I have recently purchased a the Loco GW-60 watch. I'm happy with its simplicity and ease of use whilst on the water, however i seem to be having trouble with the final google overlay once uploaded to KA-72 website. The problem is that, when i view the overlay, it appears that my tracks are approx 200m offset from where i am actually sailing. My location of the actual launch spots confirms this distance. This has happened every time I've used the watch and also happens when i sail at different locations.
Is this a setting on the watch or has it to do with the initial setup of the GPS when searching for satellites.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is something to do with the way Cesium is rendering the track, the tracks appear to be floating above the ground. I think it is the same problem for all GPSs. With your mouse pointer on the map, hold down the 'control' key and the left mouse button, then move your mouse pointer downwards. This will change your angle of view to directly overhead and everything should line up.

yes, the watch should have a positional accuracy within 1m, as long as it's had long enough to establish a "fix" and has a good sky view.

Thanks for the help lads, much appreciated.

yes, it's a recent issue with cesium on Ka72, Dylan told me he was working on it.
Only renders well with a close to vertical view, which is a shame cause I loved playing with the viewing angle of my tracks.....
