Garmin Footpod instead of Stryd?

I was using Garmins footpod before I've got FR935 and Stryd. I was using it on a treadmill only and never had any dropouts and I had Garmin Tempe and Garmin HRM connected too

Have lost patience now with using my Stryd and F5 together. The number of dropouts seems to get worse not better with each BETA release. As the Pace from GPS is still all over the place I was thinking about getting a Garmin Footpod instead and using that for pace in lieue of both the Stryd pod and the watch's GPS measurement.

Has anybody had any success with this combination? Can I still expect Ant+ dropouts with the Garmin pod?

Incidentally, since switching off GLONASS and setting the watch back to smart recording my GPS tracks have actually been pretty sweet. Some minor wandering but nothing different to what I'd see on my old FR735XT.

Have you tried it with beta 3.22? Someone else on the forums was saying they've had zero dropouts

I have indeed, that is what I'm running now and this morning had the worst dropouts yet :(

I just called up Garmin Support to report this and initially they were not playing ball because the Stryd is a 3rd party sensor. After some discussion they have agreed to look into it further. If some people are not having any dropouts at all then have I got a faulty unit? Hope not as all the messing about sending stuff back drives me mad.

That person is me. I really had zero issues with my Stryd yesterday on my f5. If you are using the CIQ app that might be the problem. If you are pairing it as both a foot pod and power meter (and connecting as both) that can be a problem. If you use the run sport with the stryd data screen, and have it paired as a FP it may be more stable. That's what I did, even had my HRM-TRI and phone and jaybird x3 running at the same time and didn't have a issue.
