      I’ve done settings on navigation n there is no issue in locating my current location… However when I started my activities like walking or hiking, there is no gps found. What should I do?

        @ylwendy check AGPS in about menu. Is there a file present and is the file current?

            I assume you checked the AGPS file according to Brad’s suggestion?
            It helps when this is relatively up to date, afair not older than 5 days (!?)…
            my impression is: ignoring and start running makes it even harder for the watch to lock satellites, when it already struggles… but I could be wrong

              You are correct, without a lock it can take a long time to get the GPS fix while running…tested that.

                thank you all, i finally restarted the watch by pressing the two upper buttons for about 12 seconds. the watch restarted and after that, the GPS works perfectly and I feel that it is even a bit more accurate i.e. from cold start when you are doing the workout. anyway, thanks for the suggestions. cheers
