    it also took me couple of minutes, sometimes 10… but it’s better than having a completely wrong track… if time allows of course!

    You just gave me an idea: I should make another sport profile with GPS turned off as mostly I don’t care about the track, but I should check first how correct some of the metrics will be reported without GPS. 🤔 If this works, then when in hurry I use the one without GPS and other times the complete one 😉

      under settings, general, about… recently on Friday and weekend days it seems AGPS is missing.
      it always says N/A.

      Same for me actually 🙄

          I have the same problem - no AGPS last few days in my S9B. Maybe bug in beta SA? I haven’t check it with previous version.

            Suunto is informed about it…
            I personally don’t see it very critical, but it is a disadvantage… I was also standing for some time in the street on a saturday morning, waiting for satellites to be locked 😉
            Since we all expect “june”, soon, I assume it could be solved then ✊

                @Bulkan Yes, the fix was unusual fast this morning and I checked the AGPS data.

                Great that this problem was solved!

                          N/A value too on my S9B today. Too bad, it was a race, and gps recording was very bad and interrupted…No problem on my wife’s S9P wife and on a friend’s A3P…
                          Nevertheless total distance and pace where strangely accurate…

                            AGPS helps to lock satellites faster.
                            it’s now too late… but if you have waited until the arrow is steady and not searching anymore, it should not have a negative effect on your track recording and values.

                            I’m sorry your race hasn’t been recorded properly…
                            anyhow, Suunto knows and it looked like it was solved. let’s observe more and please report here if you notice again AGPS: N/A

                              @freeheeler : I had prepared my watch few minutes before the race, and had no reason to check (It usually takes less than 20sec to get GPS signal). Discovered the signal was off when the race started 🤣
                              Not a big deal anyway.

                                … and the “mysteriously” accurate speed etc should be the (in)famous “fused speed” feature, that uses more or less all available sensors in the watch to estimate (quite nicely for me, too) speed and distance … even without GPS reception and thereby without nice track on the map.

                                  Exactly what I tought ; had the issue during another race last September, and same “accuracy”.
                                  Works pretty well so !

                                      obviously and unfortunately not… but Suunto is aware and if you wait for the satellites to be locked properly it is a minor issue IMO

                                        @Freeheeler, out of curiosity and true seriousness, how does a person properly “wait for GPS lock” before starting a real race? Should I start running when the race begins and press “start” on the watch when the GPS has a lock? Another alternative for a time only race ( not place ) is to stand to the side, letting others pass, until the watch is ready, then start the race and the watch at the same time.

                                          I did “races” when I did not have a gnss watch… but to me it is obvious: you warm up and you can already put your watch in start screen. this can be around 30mins or more before the start.
                                          I know somebody who tracks warmup and cooldown at race days, too
