Is the gps still off on the 5s?

Former Member over 7 years ago

Looking into buying either the fenix 5s, for the smaller size or the 935 and would like peoples current experience with the gps and other bugs for the 5s. If the gps really is that bad how bad would you say it's off in say a 5k, 10k, ect?

Any replies will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I find the GPS seems a little more susceptible to interference by trees than my old FR235 was, however it tends to be that this just temporarily throws the pace calc off (which it then catches up) rather than actually losing / distorting the GPS track. I get the odd GPS blip in areas with tall buildings but no different to the 235 in that regard.
