Vivosmart hr+ gps issue

Hi all,

My band can no longer lock onto gps signal. I tried syncing with garmin connect and express but it still didn't work. The gps signal will be stuck at 1 bar.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
HH

    For what it is worth, this is working for me. Download the epo.bin file from here: https://www.javawa.nl/epo.html

    Then I put it on my Vivosmart manually using file explorer in the remotesw folder. (Not connecting to garmin express) To be sure I mark it as read-only in the properties of the file (windows) to make sure it is not deleted. 

    When starting an activity it still takes some time on a spot with no large buildings to block the satellites, hard to say how long exact because at that time I am eager to start my activity, but ballpark a few minutes.

    It might be that some of the steps are not necessary, but I am happy that it works and have no reason to test this out.
