larkim Jan 2023 5:00pm, 10 Jan 2023 19,954 posts	0 larkim Wonder if there is anything in the header info in the .fit file that describes what it has done? Would be surprised if there wasn't some marker in there, even if just for development purposes.
fetcheveryone Jan 2023 5:02pm, 10 Jan 2023 28,638 posts	0 fetcheveryone I did another test as I sauntered down the garden with a cuppa, and it gave me a map - so that's all good.
Fitz Jan 2023 5:48pm, 10 Jan 2023 3,054 posts	0 Fitz While we're on the subject of Garmins (and why wouldn't we be, in a thread called Garmin!), my 245 has been getting very slow on the uptake finding satellites recently. I have plugged it in to Garmin Express which says it's on the latest software (11.60). Watch GPS is set to "GPS & GLONASS." I have no idea what else to check or how to check it, any wisdom gratefully received.
fetcheveryone Jan 2023 5:52pm, 10 Jan 2023 28,639 posts	0 fetcheveryone Maybe try just GPS, it might be GLONASS that it’s taking ages to find?

flanker Jan 2023 6:50pm, 10 Jan 2023 20,788 posts	0 flanker Fitz - there was an issue with the GPS firmware (different to the main watch version) recently that caused slow acquisition. Might be worth checking that is at the latest version too.
Fitz Jan 2023 7:25pm, 10 Jan 2023 3,055 posts	0 Fitz I thought it meant GPS or GLONASS and that the more things in use, the better chance of getting any satellite fix? I'll try different permutations and I'll also see what I can find on the GPS firmware thing. Thanks
