@zhang965 available satellites over your heat.
I don’t know, so far, the only thing I can tell, they follow the same steps,
I wear the HR blet, I walk about 30m (so the watch has 30m to connect to GPS) to the park before start the run,

Hi all,
Just bringing a quick answer here. On my side, the GPS is wrong almost all the time. On the map I’m always going “through” building or in the lake, on the railways. Ok I’m often starting my run from town, with buildings around but we don’t have skyscrapers here and I’m always waiting the watch is ready before starting. My 9 Baro is configured with GPS+Glonass.
I would say I know where I’m running and there is no need for me to re-check the map after but there is a serious lack or precision here
-
@darxmurf perhaps not related but my track is always wrong on the graphic map but fairly good on the real satellite map. But it had almost more or less been wrong. The last days it has been better and the only thing I changed is that I use a Polar H9 instead of a Polar OH1.

The SUNTO 9/Baro GPS is not so bad …
For the fun of it, I created a personalized “Motorsport” mooing the lawn view for when I’m cutting my garden grass …
I was impressed by the result (not the garden
… but the capture of information …
It is not a 400 m stadium … still I’m almost able to see that I went everywhere … just one time I entered in the house with the mower -

It looks I’m getting lazy over years
it looks like you need even more sleep now
the track from 2019 is better than the one from 2021 even with GPS improvement updates
I don’t really have something to compare like you do, because I do sports infrequently. Hence no comparison over years for the same tracks at the same time… but what I do notice is that during an activity the GPS precision sometimes is better and sometimes worse but independently from the tree coverage and without steep hills near me. I don’t see a pattern -
I think that also depends on the device, even being the same model, how it is worn and activity speed.
Here two examples, the nice track is from my running partner. He was using an S9B Ti and I the regular S9B. He wears the the watch on the right arm and I on the left. The hill was around 400 m long with 100 m ascent, and he is much faster than me doing downhills and a little bit faster than me in the uphills.

@cosmecosta
and the activities were on the same time and day?
at least the alti graph looks alright… but something seems to be always going on… either track or alti
I went downhill running today at sealevel, a loop starting and ending on our campsite
-
@freeheeler Yeah, the activities were the same day and time, we were running together.
I’m not complaining, these things happen, and I can imagine is a combination of the technology itself and the watch design (hard and soft)
Regarding altitude mismatch in loops I tend to believe that this is because we do no let/give time to the GPS/fusialti do its magic, I mean we wait for the green arrow and then we hit start.
The good thing that my friend uses the same watch is that I can compare both watches and regarding altitude we are always very similar, within 10 m difference of ascent but I aslo can say that rarely we are quite off, then usually we have different altitudes at the starting point.

@cosmecosta
before I started my “downhill” running activity, I’ve waited around 15mins after the first satellite lock. The reason was, it locked but immediately lost the satellites again. It was a show of around 5min, lock-lost-lock etc… after that I wanted to see that the sats stay locked. -
Pace dropped to 10m/km

@zhang965
satellites seem to favour the south-east side of Jardin du Luxembourg -

-
If I run, the number fo satellites reduces, if I walk, the number of satellites seems stable.
Ruuning: the number of stellites droped to 5
Walking

@andré-faria the new one might help, but mine is becoming brown. Even washing it after every use doesn’t help
The predecessor at least didn’t change its colours -
Isn’t there some overall problem with newer suunto watches ? My S5 always takes around 20-40 seconds to get initial GPS fix, even when they was synced with phone just few minutes before. With older Ambit 2 when it was synced for AGPS it was often under 10 seconds to get initial fix. Maybe used sony GPS chip is not so good in non ideal conditions ?

S9P is super fast for me.
-
@tomas5 takes no more than 10s on my s9.
-
@dmytro just going from work so i counted today, it was exactly 10s but it was unusually fast today. But anyway even it take usualy 20s or more, after fix it works perfectly fine while on bike.
-
@tomas5 my S9B sometimes needs 1+ minute to get a signal. On average around 30sec and this is really annoying. My Girlfriend uses a Forerunner 945 and she gets a GPS signal in 1sec…
