@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).

@isazi
…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 -
This post is deleted! -
@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
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos ok, understood but better than GPS standalone?
-
ist there a good website that shows satellite coverage with the various systems and for a selectable region?
Thx!
-
@Egika
yes there is, I remember that either @isazi or @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos has posted a phone app that shows live satellites of the famous (of not all?) systems…
BUT I’ve searched for it but can’t recall atm the topic and discussion…
it must have been in the S9 pro’s and con’s or in the firmware update wishlist… sorry -
@Egika Coros introduced similar thing directly in watch .
Maybe we can vote for such feature -
@Maryn
an indicator about satellite reception quality
-
@Maryn I would not like any of those features on a watch. Sure you can have those eg on the s7 its super easy to install an app todo that but even me gets 0 value…
-
@Maryn and btw that “app” is already in your s9
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
I just thought when you do sports at any place and the indicator (let’s say a traffic light indicator) goes to orange and you’re not happy about the recording you know already before you go next time that you could try adding either one of the other GNSS systems for that route?…something like anger prevention
