Fenix 3 Bike (GPS Issue) on Resume GPS signal isn't ever found or re-obtained.

Bike (GPS Issue) on Resume GPS signal isn't ever found or re-obtained.

Garmin Fenix 3 - Software Version 3.60
- Launch Cycling activity obtains GPS (very quickly)
- Cycle for 10 miles
- Pause watch
- Have a few minutes rest
- On Resume of the activity screen before pressing the "start/stop" button the red circle stays red, the current GPS signal doesn't show green circle, waited for ages to for it to acquire a signal to continue the ride.
Press Start, timer increases distance doesn't change & speed isn't even shown.

Annoying as it's cutting off my logged ride distance effecting all my statistics.
Software Bug?

Nothing on this? Same issue here.

I'ts a 3.60 bug.
the workaround is to mark a waypoint before resume the activity. This force fenix 3 to acquire satellites, once the fix is done, you don't need to save the waypoint, you can cancel the operation and resume the activity.

same problem

I had the same problem too.

I pause my morning commute ride in the office but unable to regain GPS when I try to resume the same ride going home in the evening.
