    Hello,
    Not sure when it is started since I’ve been using the watch for only 1 month.
    But the problem is that when I choose an activity to run, the navigation icon is not turning green for a few minutes.
    Is it only for me or maybe I have to do something?
    My navigation setting for running is breadcrumbs.

      Do you switch your watch off sometimes? Or is it mostly on, and your are wearing it regularly, and suunto app is connected to it?
      Another question to help trouble shoot, when this happen, are you in a location “far” from the last time you ran?

        Hi!
        I never turned off my watch yet.
        I always use suunto app and syncing it with watch (1-2 times a day).
        I ran always in same area. I live in center of capital city.

          @Vanillaface Check Settings/General/About on the watch and scroll down until you see Assisted GPS. This should have the current date. If not the file for finding satellites is not loaded.

          A second issue is that this file requires a few minutes to unpack. If it syncs to the watch immediately before an exercise it will take much longer to get a GPS lock. Your lock (solid green arrow) should take only a few seconds if you have a good view of the sky.
