GPS Accuracy Fluctuations Post-Update

Most people can’t keep it running long enough to have this problem

Where/how do you observe this “fluctuation”?

It may me that the most recent update put additional emphasis on power conservation. All iR devices try very hard to minimize power consumption, including minimizing use of the GPS radio. In particular, the device only acquires a fix when it needs to do so. To send a track point, to send a message, to log a track point, or if you ask to see your coordinates.

To see if this is part of the problem, try setting the logging interval to 30 seconds or less. You will see a warning that this causes the GPS radio to be on continuously. If your varying accuracy goes away, it’s probably a result of power conservation.

I don't have any issues with this Montanna 700 . I have the gps set to  gps and galieo with waas on. Also I set the track to record every 3 sec for a more accurate track line to save. I also double click the power button to shut the screen off before putting it back in the case I carry on my pack chest strap or in my front pocket. I get super battery life out of the Lithium battery as well. Leave it running all day long on long hikes. Accuracy is spot on. Never shuts down.  Had gpsr's since 1995 from Marine,auto and many hand helds from Garmin.
