|[[File:Fenix2 Getting Lost.jpg|none|thumb|500pxx400px|This is an example of just how bad the Fenix 2 can be. This is a short run, with the start and finish in the same place. The track up to marker 18 is not bad, but then the Fenix 2 loses reception for a couple of miles. When it gets reception back, it tracks wildly off course, ending up with a position that's out by around a mile.]]|[[File:Fenix2 Getting Lost3.jpg|none|thumb|500pxx400px|Another example of the Fenix 2 getting lost. You can see marker 41 is a long way off the route, probably about half a mile off. Notice how messy the rest of the track is as well.]]|[[File:Fenix2 Getting Lost4.jpg|none|thumb|500pxx400px|Here you can see the Fenix 2 track is a confused mess.]]

|[[File:Fenix2 Getting Lost5.jpg|none|thumb|500pxx400px| The first part of this run goes okay, but at marker 61 things to go a little astray, and at marker 65 the GPS lock is lost, then briefly regained until marker 70. Not unreasonably, the Fenix 2 assumes straight-line movement until GPS lock is reacquired, but then rather bizarrely seems to assume that the straight-line movement is correct and records a track that is about half a mile/1 Km off.]]|[[File:Fenix2 Short1.jpg|none|thumb|500pxx400px| This is more how the GPS track should look, but even on this run the Fenix 2 lost nearly a mile in a 20 mile run.]]|[[File:Fenix2 Getting Lost6.jpg|none|thumb|500pxx400px|This GPS track looks reasonable until marker #54, and then the track gets offset, but strangely it stays offset until the last marker.]]
