      @mountainChris About A yes. You should wait and not on the prestart screen.

      That is only after a reboot.

      About B it can be that. I am not sure, I had it rarely

        @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos ok thanks… I also only rarely

        what is interesting new to me also: seems to be a difference between APGS Update from Suunto link and APP… APP gave me not the 30-06 file now. Suunto link did the update to 30-06 …

            @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos APP cache… maybe I should have closed the app before and open it again ok… But Suunto Link is also very comfortable because goes so fast…

                    @mountainChris did you use Galileo? Just asking because there were issues with Galileo sats very recently. Anyway I never had issues with GPS fix, except once after a soft reset (I had to wait 10/15 minutes before getting a lock).

                      Tried both. Regularly GPS+beidoo… I had with agps a flashing green arrow. This is very very rare. Usually 99.9% GPS conformation within seconds. With the soft reset I made the situation worse. Now I know the 15min. Next time I will run in 0.1% with flashing green arrow (start screen)…

                        @mountainChris I have asked the developers to add something like : pending for AGPS

                        I think it will happen eventually. Everyone gets buggered about this.

                        Btw it’s not 15min in total. Its in max. The best todo is after a reset to literally :

                        Sync
                        Be outdoors or close to a window
                        Wait 5 mins and check AGPS x3

                        Not the best but a soft reset is the ultimate situation and it’s good that it clears the GPS chipset cache in order to avoid such things.

                        FYI: After AGPS is aquired the signal should be very very fast for a “cold” start. Sometimes even faster than normal “warm” starts.

                            Reset: hard reset via suunto link?
                            Cold start: soft reset?
                            Warm start: without reset, normal?
