          I’ve never doubted 😉

                  @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos interesting, is Suunto the first vendor to add Beidou compatibility? I’ve always been curious about the system, they have 47 working satellites and seem to always be visible 🙂

                    @isazi I think COROS is the first todo so with their latest (Dec) update (or Jan dont remember well)

                    I think Suunto was the first to power up that chip and add Galileo support.

                    From my tests with COROS it has improved track quality (using BEIDOU) and from other feedback I have seen.

                    I would love to provide comparisons once the FW is a bit steady, promised later this week (for testers). (Which could also be delayed due to Sony).

                      …please don’t mind me asking… is it basically possible to use beidou standalone?

                        @isazi For the reference , as a Galileo enthousiast, the continuous unreliability of the constellation for me, it has proved worse than Glonass. I still use it, but would really like to

                        A) EU FIX it , it is still problematic
                        b) See some real improvement of tracks with BEIDOU

                            @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos same here, I love Galileo and would love to see it thrive, but man it fails horribly at times 😞

                              @TELE-HO I don’t think any of those can be atm used as standalones. BEIDOU does not have good coverage in my area at least. Yes it has a few sats though.

                                @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos power consumption is similar to gps+glo or gps+gal?

                                  @isazi yeah exactly. Some times I am like woooohooo. Look at this smoothness, and some other times -> Offset of 100m like wtf. I run with 3 S9 different constellations 10cm apart from each arm and you can clearly see who fucked up (which system)

                                    @Maryn Good question. I dont know. For QZSS for example the battery damage is 0 , for Gali more, and for glonass less than Gali

                                      @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos based on your experience which is more reliable? Only GPS?

                                        @Maryn atm not sure. I will come back with test results. Dont want to give false hopes.

                                        In theory GPS + GLO = Better and have not seen anything strage tbh
