      I’ve been having issues with the Assisted GPS feature on my S9 since updating to 2.13.18. I sync to the Suunto App on my iPhone.

      My problem became realized since heading out for a trail run a couple of days ago and I did not get GPS tracking right way. In fact it took 25 minutes into the run! Luckily I mostly knew the route.

      After the run I checked on the watch and it said my assisted GPS was not updated since 12/31/2020 (it was 1/15/21). I rebooted the watch and it synced right away. The next day the problem returns. This time I restarted the suunto App and it finally updated. Today I cant get it to update by restarting App. I have not restarted the watch yet.

      Prior to 2.13.18 I hardly thought about this. It seemed to update daily. What changed here? Does the AGPS data no longer update daily? Is this a new bug? What’s the work around? I love my S9 but I’m starting to think we need a break. Any assistance here is appreciated.

      NOTE: One additional detail I see my iOS App updated to 2.0 yesterday.

        @fritzbt2013 if I am not wrong this is more about the app than the watch. Android users have not add the issue (except at the beginning of the year when Sony effed up). Is it still not working with the newly updated app?

          @fritzbt2013 as I understood from @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos there is an issue with the latest public release of iOS app and hotfix should come soon.

            @andrasveres Thanks for this info.

            @isazi Still not working unless I reboot watch (which I just did, so I’m good today).

                  @fritzbt2013 you must check on YouTube, i know it’s possible to install older version because i use an very old ipad and whe last version aren’t compatible. I have the possibility to instal other version. So maybe there is a way for you to.
                  At least you can jailbreak your iphone and do what you want 😉

                    @fritzbt2013 Watch synced AGPS data without issue today (no firmware or SA update). So not sure of the failure pattern here. Maybe it’s a cloud service issue … will continue to monitor daily for now.

                      @fritzbt2013 Continues to work without issue for me now. Still on 2.0.0 and 2.13.18. One additional detail I want to add is that at some point when I was having issues I must have switched the app to only use GPS when using. I switched that to “Always Allow” and now the AGPS data updates overnight like it did before.

                          My AGPS is upgraded from today. I do the same trail as monday (i just stop 250m before)

                          I import all my data on QS and i can see my altitude info aren’t the same

                          Today

                              I think that we’re finally getting to a point where a sticky topic on GPS performance is necessary, as the amount of misconceptions about this technology is very high.

                                @dimitrios-kanellopoulos I mean when you look at mini and Maxi altitude it’s

                                First run 21m mini / 40m maxi
                                The second run it’s 8m mini / 20m maxi.

                                it was the exact same place and i follow the same GPX.

                                    @dimitrios-kanellopoulos yes same set up, my S9Baro and SA to sync the gpx. Before everything i launch SA, sync. After i launch my watch wait for HR and GPS and that’s all.

                                    Watch is set in GPS/GZSS + Galileo (i’m in France)

                                      @g287-sf Try glonass should be more consistent on altitude or beidou
