S9B, bad new GPS version
-
New Years run. Fortunately I found back home without gps. Terrible tracking today
-
Glad I took the day off from activities
-
@isazi As a test, the old chipset in the Spartan Trainer did its usual good things today, so some of us were all good.
-
Itâs everywhere. Garmin and suunto have this now.
All forums are full atm.

Can confirm I had a similar problem today (01.01) with GPS + GLONASS and S5.
The path recorded was way off for ~500 meters and 4:35 min (hiking). Apart from that it was as perfect as it can be in mountainous area for whole ~3 hours of recording.
Iâve marked an estimated route in green in the image below. Around 4:35 min from the beginning it catched up and was perfect till the end:

Please all reboot the watch via 12 upper button(s) to wipe the cache.
Looks like sony had some cache issue.

I double checked my activity. It is to the spot accurate, except for the first few meters where the track is anywhere fantasizing.Will do the 12s reboot

No idea if someone is interested, but I found this little clean app for GNSS information:

@surfboomerang @TELE-HO Used it happily for a while now. If you can be bothered, you can play around with the AR view to check sky mask and decide which GNSS to blame for any inaccuracy you are experiencing at that specific moment. Very minor Japanese geo-bias: if you set up your current location manually, the default first âEuropeâ location is Vladivostok. Nerdy fun.

New year new run nr 2. Absolutely unacceptable gps today too. Blue line supposed to be the track. No update on the s9b and reset yesterday
-
Reset the watch, but now canât update AGPS. Neither with SA nor SLâŚ
-
@Stefan-Kersting did you reboot the watch as mentioned ?
-
Restarted the watch and todays 43km ride was good from the GPS side.
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yes rebooted my s9b yesterday with the upper button
-
Had problems with erroneous tracks for two days (even flagged on Strava). Now rebooted: Thank you @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos and best wishes for a safe and successful 2021!
-
Same problems today, all day.
-
@Matjaz-Cvetko it is the problem on the Sony side, just put the watch outside and leave it there for some time on start screenâŚ
