Connected GPS feature SF3/Galileo supported smartphones

I asked and the developers replied that the best mode for accuracy is asked and they do not ask for a specific location provider which means that it will use what the phone is capable of.

Again with iPhone7 SuuntoApp tracking in comparison to tracking with the Suunto Spartan Sport.

@jthomi Thank you again! What you done its appreciated. Same conclusion, line of watch seems more accurate. One thing that i didn’t understand, did you use in watch Navstar+Glonass ou just one?

There is a limitation on system for smartphones. We never can select in which system we want to make a registry. This is of course a real problem to compare. If we get satellites with types of different precision, how a OS make a read? From average?

Even by now it’s not possible in watches for example select Glonass alone.

Anyone with another smartphone brand?

[jthomi]

Honestly I totally forgot that I can switch on Glonass. Guess I have to make another round then…but not today…

How can you select only one system in the iPhone?

[NicolasP]

My phone Samsung Galaxy S7 is not compatible Galileo but pretty sure the settings are the same for S8 & S9.
As you can see Samsung lets you choose the accuracy level you want.

Perhaps S8/S9 owners could confirm what they have in terms of location accuracy setting.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Guys there is no setting to choose a satellite system from the phone!
Don’t worry about that.

Only devs can select that if they want.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos

Not on the phone yes, but on the watch I can switch Glonass on and off.

[Luís Pinto]

@jthomi Yes.
