No EPO.BIN download (ephemeris data for satellite pre-population) recently? (FR220)

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi,

Am I the only one that hasn't received a new 'EPO.BIN' file written to the ../GARMIN/REMOTESW/ directory at any stage recently, or is there a known issue with ephemeris data?

I have synced with Garmin Express numerous times, and it used to be the case that a new EPO.BIN file was written almost every time I did a sync (depending on how active I'd been), but this hasn't been the case for the past few weeks or so.

It's getting annoying having to wait several minutes to obtain a GPS lock before setting off. This is with a Forerunner 220.

(And yes, I can manually download the file from the 'JaVaWa GPS-tools' website, but this function is supposed to be handled automatically by the Garmin Express app.

Thanks,
Andrew.

I just tested this on a Forerunner 220 and the EPO.BIN was loaded to the device. Keep in mind that this file is removed as soon as you boot the device but it should be recreated by Express each time you sync. If it is not, I would recommend contacting Product Support by phone to troubleshoot.
