Fenix 5x Auto Update GPS Location Periodically?

I am after a way to have my watch auto grab a GPS location every set amount of time or something similar. I am using a watch face that uses the current/last GPS location to tell me when the next sunrise/sunset is and it gets quite wrong depending on where I have been travelling. Unless I have used my watch with an activity that locks a GPS location it goes off the last location used.

There's a "quick menu" shortcut that is called "set time with GPS" which updates the coordinates and sunset/sunrise.

Thanks for the reply. This is a manual way to set the GPS isn't it? Long hold up button, under clock, sync time with GPS.

It is indeed manual way. You can map that function to long press of some button if you use it often.

Yes manual but you can also add it to the shortcut menu carousel (long press of light button) and as the reply below says, map it to a button.

Yeah ok thanks for confirming. I was hoping for an automated way of doing so but it isn't looking great right now.
