      thanks!

      I just checked the GPS track of my hike 3h later and it is really nervous. The route my girlfriend tracked with her forerunner 945 was completely clean.Screenshot_20210815-204854_Suunto.jpg

        I did a softreset und used the Galileo combination.

        It got even worse…

          Waiting longer + using GPS Beidou combination is even worse…

          I am rather clueless right now.

            @theguyfromthesummit I have the same wobbling track, seems as if I am drunk. Posted it some weeks ago in the S9P real world data forum here. No matter what GPS settings I use.

              I thought or was hoping, that the peak has a better gps track…
              Sorry to hear that.
              So you just live with this?

                @theguyfromthesummit I use my Apex Pro or Vertix…more reliable/pausible track recordings. Sometimes I wear the S9P too when I want ETA/ETE for a predefined track which Coros does not offer up to now. Maybe this will change soon…

                BTW I live near Garmisch.

                  @_marcus_ Ah dann kann ich auch Deutsch schreiben 🙂 Also schon fast ganz weg von Suunto.

                  Liebäugl selbst immer mit einer Garmin, aber bleib dann doch wieder bei Suunto.

                    @theguyfromthesummit von Suunto weg als tägliche Uhr bin ich seit 2019, als ich dann schlussendlich doch enttäuscht war von der S9B. Es waren Hoffnungen da, die man natürlich nicht hätte haben dürfen. Bin dann zur Fenix 6x Pro damals gewechselt. Seit Sommer letzten Jahres dann zu Coros gekommen wegen der genialen Unterstützung des Stryd Footpod. An die S9P bin ich sehr günstig gekommen und hab sie zum Spielen geholt und um zu schauen, wie Suunto sich so entwickelt…aber meine Favoriten sind Apex Pro und Vertix

                          @_marcus_ yup. Yeah, I’m going up from the valley, so I’ll start the ferrata itself relatively late when people aren’t that abundant anymore.

                            @_marcus_ said in GPS normal?:

                            Bin dann zur Fenix 6x Pro damals gewechselt

                            Maybe I switch back to English, so nobody feels left out haha.
                            All in all I am satisfied with my S9B, but the problems are increasing…

                            Have you tested the Fenix 6x Pro and S9B regarding tracking reliability? (better GPS track, ascent etc.?)

                              So now I checked some old data and it looks like, that Suunto did something with the software… in a bad way
                              2020 everything was fine
                              2021 GPS track is wobbly and looses the signal

                              The comparison clearly shows, that something went wrong in 2021. A friend of mine also recognized a drop in performance since July.

                                @theguyfromthesummit no, I only did a direct comparison with the Apex Pro and S9P wearing both on my arms.

                                  @theguyfromthesummit by the way, why don’t you try snap to route if a “good” track is of importance to you? Or you don’t use predefined routes?

                                    Sometimes I change the route during the run and so snap to route won’t work.
                                    Even during a race the actual paths was different to the gpx track and messed up the data using snap to route.

                                    I just want the old performance back 😆

                                      @theguyfromthesummit ok, I see. Well, If you think it’s firmware related, you might want to try flashing an old one, they are linked somewhere in the forum. Beware, flashing an older FW deletes all your watch data.

                                        @dmytro thanks I will have a look.

                                        But does anyone else experience such drop in accuracy?

                                          @theguyfromthesummit (Un)Fortunately not at all. I have a non-baro 9, and although I see some bad sections when the area is really hard on GNSS, I usually have a good track. Just yesterday I ran 8 km on a track, and it worked quite well (area is not covered or bad for GNSS, but nevertheless…), and on a “regular” route the track is at least not ‘nervous’.
                                          I usually only use GPS, currently I activated Beidou and before that Galileo to check if there is any real improvement … which I do not notice in my areas.

                                            @shrek3k hmmm your track look really nice.
                                            But I guess there is not much I can do about it …
