@mr-blom my problem started after the firmware update, also escalated during the last (two???) months. The peak point was last week, when the watch even ran into an error and asked me to hard reset it. Here is the thread where I talked about my issue, you can have a look. Maybe our problems are related, and involve the firmware, though they don’t look similar https://forum.suunto.com/topic/8563/suunto-9-baro-crashes-restarts-at-the-beginning-of-a-training?_=1674920491018

@Ramrod That is so the watch can connect rapidly to the satellites to update position. It is not for setting time and allows a much more accurate start to the GPS track.

Do you use some bluetooth device (heart rate sensor)? If the issue happens again, can you check the assisted GPS status? Just to verify if the isuue is a ramdom crash and reboot of the watch

@zhang965 Ok merci. Maintenant il faut que j’exporte l’itinéraire sur Iphigénie, et c’est pas gagné. Bonne soirée

@Panagiotis-Kritikakos said in GPS offset by many meters: @thanasis While commuting I am getting through the same road, with the same watch Although haven’t noticed any issues. I have noticed though in other cases some offset, also with Garmin GPS handled device, but I reckon it’s a matter of GPS signal quality, satellite availability, weather and surrounding conditions that for some reason or another can differ on some days or moments. I recall days on hiking where the return route is even on the exact same steps and the final route shows difference between go/back ways. I think the last to blame is the software in this case. Anyway, I second @Łukasz-Szmigiel, and wouldn’t be that much bothered in such not life/death situations Usually I am not concerned about inaccuracies but this time we are talking about a lot and following an activity which doesn’t use GPS (indoor tennis) . Anyway , I treat this as a random thing and will monitor it for the future. thanks

@Ultrawalker I use dark for everything, I just find the contrast and colors better during the day and at night.

@freeheeler In fact, at least for me, the current strap has made the big difference, now giving me consistent results. also, be careful to stand still during measurements.

@Bradleyd I reported this bug a while ago, I can reproduce it for years

@isazi said in customizing sport mode: @gi0vanni I asked, will share ether answer, but my guess is that it only works for the S9B because of the larger screen. I have tested ,and same with s9pp. If this is the case, we would expert the app to refuse any customization of thèse fields, no?

@gi0vanni no worries! I’m happy you found the root cause. happy to help next time again

If you open the map screen in Suunto App you can see the dot representing yourself, using the phone location provider (GPS/wifi/bluetooth/etc).

@isazi Thank you! Worked

@thanasis thank you

@isazi gps jammers are popular for illegal activities as well and are related to health and security concerns also . In any case let’s focus on the actual capabilities of the devices we have and how to get the most out of it . So far I feel the gps of the S9p is really good .

After the update, I waited almost 15mins to catch the gps, it’s a common issue

@gi0vanni ah okay, thanks! I see now that you have bought it for s9p. I have an S9 with a larger strap width, which is unfortunately not available.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel The watch would trigger compass calibration in that case. But it doesn’t detect that the compass is not working properly in the first place…

@Brad_Olwin so you think that you can not run 6h in Z3? My last race in august (50k, 2400m verical gain) was also 6h, with 160bpm avg, that is deep into current Z3. Same race last year (before lab test) was 6h20min with 163bpm avg. Was my test not accurate? I think I should do it again…

@jjpaz “@isazi I have high expectations with the suunto 9 peak update. Opening or returning a “box” bought on Black Friday depends on that update… ” Auto reply: I’m going to return the ‘unopened box’ bought on Black Friday, I’m still a Suunto fan
