Hello.
Does anyone know how to downgrade?
GPS on my Fenix 5 works very bad. I think reason for poor performance firmware. Look at the attached pictures one track have 11.0.0.0 firmware another track have 12.50.0.0.

Why not upgrade to 13?

Why not upgrade to 13?

Already upgraded to firmware 13, but did not try to use.

The update process overwrites the existing almanac of satellite orbits, so typically the first GPS track after an update is poor. The almanac takes about 13 minutes to download over the GPS signal, so subsequent tracks are normally better.

As you have since updated to 13.00, you may have to repeat this process.
