    @Lukasz-Berdowski this looks pretty ok. You can also try glonass, its satellites have different inclination than GPS and Galileo and there are (usually) more sats available than Galileo so it may also be helpful in dense forests.

    I also wonder how will the recorded path look like if you reverse directions?

      @Lukasz-Berdowski what hand do you wear the watch ?

      And what’s the direction of the route I see ? Clock or counter clockwise ?

        @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I think it’s clockwise, notice the km numbers.

          Left hand and the direction is clockwise. There is no track navigation on. When I look at the menu, there is ‘breadcrumbs’ selected.
          I will try to run the other direction next time, I am very curious about the result 🙂

            @Lukasz-Berdowski or just chnage hands.

            If you are doing clockwise and left hand then if you also are more close to the left part of the road (typically you ain’t you are right for clockwise eg pavement) it’s more blocked the signal.

                Hi all,

                Just to add my touch on this topic, I’m pretty happy with my Suunto 9 baro but every time we hike with my girl friend, there is between 300 and 500m of difference with my watch and her garmin forerunner, even if we start/stop our watches at the same time and follow the exact same path.

                        @Saketo-Nemo just realized my suunto was configured with GPS system only while the garmin uses GPS+Glonass. I changed my settings and we will try again with a quick run 🙂

                          @suzzlo nop, she got the forerunner 735XT, which is more a triathlon/running device, this can also play a role in the thing.

                              @TELE-HO distance. As the forerunner is taking it’s altitude from GPS and not baro, I would not compare them.

                                Okay, quick cycling test this morning with GPS+Galileo and it looks like I’m more “on the road” when looking at the map.
