Suunto 9 Baro AGPS n/a
-
@Mff73 I don’t remember well but I think that Coros tells you if the AGPS file is still valid or you need to sync the watch to get and updated one. I guess this is useful when you don’t sync the watch regularly in the case of Suunto with the background sync is not needed, but …

In my experience, when we don’t have AGPS file, even if we wait for the lock, is that if we don’t wait enough time the track will be quite bad, I guess is because the lock is done with the minimum satellites and the watch struggles a lot to keep this or acquire more satellites.
Same experience here with non-Sony chip Ambit3 too. Not sure what is going on with AGPS data on servers, but sometimes it’s really frustrating me.

@MiniForklift
what time and date is your AGPS?
because mine is N/A…
but Suunto knows
Um, well mine has gone back to being N/A as of this morning
-
@MiniForklift
I bet it will receive the next AGPS tomorrow morning.
…based by observation
-
It doesn’t seem to affect anything for me just from having a couple of runs when it’s been N/A. Still literally a few seconds for it to find and click to a satellite(s) and the GPS and tracking during the run appears to be unaffected

@MiniForklift
once it locks satellites and you maybe wait 2-3 breaths all should be good. it just takes slightly longer until that happen, but not necessarily. -
@MiniForklift @freeheeler I’ve had different experience, from long GPS lock, more than 10 minutes to a fastish lock with a quite bad track, yesterday happen the last in a race.
For me is quite annoying this issue, usually I run at 6 am and I only have one hour, so I don’t have time to wait for a GPS lock that long.
Fast GPS lock is a minimum for a GPS device. In my opinion, as I have said I understand that issues happen, and this one can happen from very long time to time, but not as often as it has being happening the last months. Moreover this has been happening on weekends, when one usually races or does longer activities. -
Lo and behold, it worked this morning.
Maybe it’s just me, but when you pay premium for a product like this, you’d kind of expect things to work more reliably.

seems to be fixed
thank you, Suunto Team
-
Thought I’d have a look and as of this morning mine is again displaying N/A

@MiniForklift

how’s your recovery by the way?Sorry, I missed this. Recovery generally I think has been good, back is feeling great and I am completely pain free now which is the first time in over a decade. I have a lot of tightness and pain in my hips which is supposedly normal while they adjust to everything, some days have been better than others but I’ve been keeping active and walking a fair bit. I might start some easy cycling once my hips are feeling good again, running will probably still be a while yet
Appreciate you checking in, hope you had a great Christmas and New Year
