        I have the same problem - no AGPS last few days in my S9B. Maybe bug in beta SA? I haven’t check it with previous version.

          Suunto is informed about it…
          I personally don’t see it very critical, but it is a disadvantage… I was also standing for some time in the street on a saturday morning, waiting for satellites to be locked 😉
          Since we all expect “june”, soon, I assume it could be solved then ✊

              @Bulkan Yes, the fix was unusual fast this morning and I checked the AGPS data.

              Great that this problem was solved!

                  Keep reporting if this happens, we need to keep Suunto informed to find a permanent solution.

                        N/A value too on my S9B today. Too bad, it was a race, and gps recording was very bad and interrupted…No problem on my wife’s S9P wife and on a friend’s A3P…
                        Nevertheless total distance and pace where strangely accurate…

                          AGPS helps to lock satellites faster.
                          it’s now too late… but if you have waited until the arrow is steady and not searching anymore, it should not have a negative effect on your track recording and values.

                          I’m sorry your race hasn’t been recorded properly…
                          anyhow, Suunto knows and it looked like it was solved. let’s observe more and please report here if you notice again AGPS: N/A

                            Not a big deal anyway.

                              … and the “mysteriously” accurate speed etc should be the (in)famous “fused speed” feature, that uses more or less all available sensors in the watch to estimate (quite nicely for me, too) speed and distance … even without GPS reception and thereby without nice track on the map.

                                Exactly what I tought ; had the issue during another race last September, and same “accuracy”.
                                Works pretty well so !

                                  It happens again. So it’s not solved yet.

                                    obviously and unfortunately not… but Suunto is aware and if you wait for the satellites to be locked properly it is a minor issue IMO

                                      @Freeheeler, out of curiosity and true seriousness, how does a person properly “wait for GPS lock” before starting a real race? Should I start running when the race begins and press “start” on the watch when the GPS has a lock? Another alternative for a time only race ( not place ) is to stand to the side, letting others pass, until the watch is ready, then start the race and the watch at the same time.

                                        I did “races” when I did not have a gnss watch… but to me it is obvious: you warm up and you can already put your watch in start screen. this can be around 30mins or more before the start.
                                        I know somebody who tracks warmup and cooldown at race days, too

                                          @Bradleyd the easiest way is to go to the start screen well in advance. I usually open the screen already in the waiting area.

                                          This doesn’t mean Suunto shouldn’t solve this issue with AGPS on weekends, it’s weird and bad, but it’s a good idea anyway to go on the activity start screen in advance.

                                            @isazi and @freeheeler, this makes logical sense: get HR and GPS locked and confirmed well before going to the starting line.

                                            On a side note, “fused-speed” is an unbelievably cool feature and great backup for flakey GPS.
