GPS problems with my S9B
-
@isazi said in GPS problems with my S9B:
@basetta79 okay that is the app version. On your watch go to “Settings” -> “General” -> “About” and look for “Assisted GPS”.
Edit: if you watch is in Italian it should still be something similar to that.
On my watch I synced this morning before the run I post in screenshot.
On my watch the sw is 2.14.12

@basetta79 the AGPS is updated (at least it is now), if it happens again can you check right after the activity if the APGS is updated or not?
-
@isazi sure!
-
@basetta79 when you start the activity, does it take long for the GPS icon to become green?
-
@isazi today 1-2 minute. Yesterday when I realized I was off with gps, I stopped and finished the activity. Then I immediately started another one but the search for gps has been long. When back at home, I couldn’t sync with the app. I had to un pair the watch then pair it newly and it worked.
Edit: I was using navigation with an imported route
-
@basetta79 long time for a GPS fix is consistent with missing AGPS.

@isazi and what can I do in that case? Is this something I can fix without sending the watch to official assistance?
-
I had some issues with slow fix too a couple of days ago.
So maybe there was some problem in the file data -
@basetta79
just make sure your watch completely synces to SA before an activity. the agps file gets synced with the watch-phone connection
I’ve had bad agps and also in general bad recording days, too. they are very rare IMHO -
@freeheeler ok. This morning the agps were synced to the app before the run but the result was awful (BUT the SA wasn’t updated). Tomorrow I will retry…
-
@basetta79 if you sync AGPS do it more than 15 minutes before you start the activity. Unpacking and making the files available takes time, so if you sync a new AGPS and then start immediately it is not available.

@isazi ok!
-
@isazi
the best we can do is using the watch every day and sync it every day
-
@isazi are we ok the AGPS sync only by SA ? Or it’s with suunto link ?
-
@g287-sf SA is more than enough.
-
@basetta79 this is made with power saving mode
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos no it wasn’t. It was in Performance mode.
Edit: at least that was what I set.
-
@basetta79 can I have a suunto app link ?
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos hope you can check it

@basetta79 you are correct. Its best GPS mode.
However I can see that your signal is very low. AGPS was updated 18/04/21
The signal was low from start.
I would recommend that you wait like 1-5 mins after the green arrow lock happens.
"Specifically you started with only 6 visible sats (8-12 is good ).
This can happen becasue the starting conditions were hard and youi did not wait so long.
So imagine the watch barely has a good GPS lock to start, and you enter hard terrain. Then it wont have the time to recover.
Also try GPS + Glonass.
