      yes, was green.
      My second run with S9 was on Sibiu 10k marathon and I din’t wait for GPS to be green and start running. I didn’t get the GPS at all. Run was recorded but with no GPS. So now, I always wait. 🙂

        @sartoric

        I tried different paths and sometimes the tracks are decent. But 1 from 5 had accuracy issues.

        not really, but along the road there are some 380v cables.

        No magnetic stuff. I was thinking to buy this watch in order to get rid of phone.

        Well … Let’s say that this is not an optimal environment for GPS and Compass, that’s a magnetic net 😁

            Other question. Do you have AGPS synced?

            Settings->General->About -> AGPS what does it show there?

              and it’s why ask you to change the country…
              because it seems GPS is under control in some countries? seems in Chian GPS has a beautiful random drift

                  @florin2528 that looks ok.
                  Alright I don’t know how much more to help here.

                    for me it’s a random GPS signal lost,

                    this lost might be caused by weather factor, environment factor.

                    next time, once connected to GPS, hold on some mins to wait the connection be stable before go.

                    I suggest you to return your watch next Week,so that Dimitrios might release the FW quickly.

                      I will have other runs and on Sunday I will change the country.
                      At the moment i see two options: A3 or stay with the cheap phone.

                      RedbullXAlps will start in a couple of days, I’m wondering if they will get the same hardware/software as me.

                        I used an A3S for over a year and now I have an A3R (girlfriend) at home, sorry but I don’t notice this big difference with Spartan and 9.
                        Above all, if we talk about precision, we cannot rely on a track recorded on a bike. The conditions are optimal there. I recorded tons of it, with SSU, of precise traces like a hot blade in butter. However, let’s see what the update of “by 29.06” will bring 😄

                            ok, sorry… I can’t supply other examples as there are no mapped trackmarks for skitouring 😉

                                I’m watching this competition since launching, I’m a paraglider also and the accuracy of the live tracking has improved a lot on the last editions.

                                They are running on difficult weather conditions, on the valleys etc, and the GPS accuracy was good in general.

                                  my bad, the live coverage is covered by flymaster.
                                  We can remove XAlps from this thread.

                                    Out of topic question if you are nice to answer:

                                    I lost 10% of battery since yesterday(22 hours) with the following setup:

                                    • no sport
                                    • walking, calculating the number of steps
                                    • WHR activated
                                    • no notification
                                    • airplane mode ON

                                    Would that be decent for S9?

                                    Thanks,
                                    Florin

                                        I had a run on that Sunday and the track was looking pretty bad:
                                        6f9b54f1-5a64-46b4-a32c-9b5eca3fe1f3-image.png

                                        During the update I was in another country with poor internet so I didn’t do the update but the runs were looking ok(not as bad as home, was at the sea side):

                                        6be0a79a-7b25-451f-9118-5f72d5c85359-image.png

                                        Turned back home, made the update and I started with a run, but the GPS signal was low, mobile phone did complain about it(some clouds on the sky). Even that the s9 had a better signal than the phone which was not registering GPS at all, only time for more than 1 km.

                                        244ae536-3e35-496f-90ca-7d0d91e6c6a3-image.png

                                        the track was ok in general.

                                        then I did some biking and the track was looking pretty good:
                                        d3ecefe6-365d-48fe-ab96-c55e3e3956ab-image.png

                                        I traveled to Innsbruck and did some hiking and running.
                                        Hiking was bad:
                                        0e9c59dc-8e61-4647-8c0f-83994fce0b2e-image.png

                                        running was good as can be:
                                        33a6faca-360d-4c54-9dd5-b3f8425e7d9c-image.png

                                        Now i’m back home and I will continue with another reply.

                                          @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

                                          Now i got back home and did biking:
                                          the track was looking more better than when running:
                                          4f3da262-2e9e-47c0-b3f8-77447a8f4bb7-image.png

                                          but running was ok, but not so accurate, i’m happy with it:

                                          In general i think that from GPS point of view it’s fine.

                                            But i noticed some issues with barometer sensor.
                                            I did some diving, maximum one meter deep and the baro indicator was showing me -75, -50.
                                            I don’t have the log from that. I was just viewing on the watch with no activity recorded.
                                            Being in the see, in the water was still showing me like 12 meters above sea level with GPS active.

                                            another issue I notice it\s with WHR, sometimes it starts really slow, and sometimes drops with no reason:
