Looking at the trace itself. It didn’t start exactly where I was when I pressed go and about 0.1 mile in it took a jump away from where I was but otherwise behaved itself.

Are those with the dual band capabilities on some of the F7s, the 955 and 255 also having this problem ?

Rest day for me so no run, but just checked - I've got an F6, and mine acquired satellites in about 10 seconds, indoors about 2 feet from a window...........that's on a par with normal

Normal 10-15s to get a lock for me on my 645. Nb the 645 wasn't in the lost of devices affected by the recent issues.

Yes, I have a 955 (and geordiegirl has an F7, IIRC). It got faster at locking on as the day went on though. For my last ride home from the local lake I got a satellite lock in about 10 seconds.

I might try a full "plug it into the laptop and sync via Garmin Express" later although it seems OK now.

My fenix 7s is still taking ages but not as long as this morning, I’ll just have to be mindful tomorrow

My F6 was fine tonight, synced before heading out to be sure I had CPE updated. Friend had a jumpy route with an FR 235.
