GPS bugs on Suunto9

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Lukasz-Berdowski what hand do you wear the watch ?

And what’s the direction of the route I see ? Clock or counter clockwise ?

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I think it’s clockwise, notice the km numbers.

[Lukasz Berdowski]

Left hand and the direction is clockwise. There is no track navigation on. When I look at the menu, there is ‘breadcrumbs’ selected.
I will try to run the other direction next time, I am very curious about the result

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Lukasz-Berdowski or just chnage hands.

If you are doing clockwise and left hand then if you also are more close to the left part of the road (typically you ain’t you are right for clockwise eg pavement) it’s more blocked the signal.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos good tip! I will let you guys know in a few days how it went

Hi all,

Just to add my touch on this topic, I’m pretty happy with my Suunto 9 baro but every time we hike with my girl friend, there is between 300 and 500m of difference with my watch and her garmin forerunner, even if we start/stop our watches at the same time and follow the exact same path.

@darxmurf
in altitude or distance?

[suzzlo]

@darxmurf Garmin model ? (I mean, Garmin Forerunner with barometer?)

@darxmurf
is which one should be correct? Can you share both activity links?

[darxmurf]

@Saketo-Nemo just realized my suunto was configured with GPS system only while the garmin uses GPS+Glonass. I changed my settings and we will try again with a quick run

[darxmurf]

@suzzlo nop, she got the forerunner 735XT, which is more a triathlon/running device, this can also play a role in the thing.

[darxmurf]

@Saketo-Nemo but here is an example

Mine: https://www.suunto.com/fr-ch/move/darx440/5f145990aacc352ae9b79117
Her: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/5262420761

[darxmurf]

@TELE-HO distance. As the forerunner is taking it’s altitude from GPS and not baro, I would not compare them.

[darxmurf]

Okay, quick cycling test this morning with GPS+Galileo and it looks like I’m more “on the road” when looking at the map.
