Running - GPS

When i go for a run and start the activity (outdoors) it takes a long time to find GPS location. Sometimes it does not at all. The garmin has been updated frequently and currently is up-to-date, and i start the activity outside. What could be the issue?

    Also waiting time is highly irregular. Sometimes it also finds location in an instant...

    The watch being able to get GPS should be fairly quick and reasonably consistent. If you are waiting a few minutes or longer for it acquire satellites and are outdoors and not moving while it's doing so, we would suggest resetting the watch since it has already been updated.

    Press Menu > Select Settings > System > Reset > Reset Default Settings

    It make take a few minutes to reset and up to 5 minutes for it acquire satellites for the first time. Once it does, it should be fairly quick and consistent getting GPS moving forward.
