Ok, question, when garmin add, if add, BEIDOU gps system. Suunto S9 in new firmware have this option.
This will improve GPS accuransy, maybe :)

Even with those examples probably being cherry-picked to showcase an area that had the most discrepancies, the Beidou example looks almost exactly the same as the Glonass example.
And given the fact that…
gps + another or is it gps or another depending on so Garmin specific quality metric?
When GPS chips are tracking more than one constellation, with at least two satellites visible from…
Here the sky plot from Italy today, Milan area. Yesterday was different, tomorrow will be different.
Does anyone, know anything about this? Suunto seems to get really great result from Beidou...
Only Garmin insiders would have this answer, the rest of us can only speculate. But I am going to guess that Garmin has no immediate plans to use the Chinese satellite constellation. If they do, it would likely only appear in the Asia market devices.

And given the fact that the topo map of the trail is clearly not accurate, since none of the tracks exactly follow it, it's impossible to say which track is most accurate.
I will concede that the Galileo and GPS-only tracks look substantially worse in those examples - but that's something I already knew, and is the reason I always use Glonass.
When I superimpose the Beidou and Glonass tracks together, you can see that neither of them really follow the trail on the topo map that well. Is the Beidou track less wrong? Is glonass less wrong? Is the topo map less wrong? Are they all equally wrong? Hell, maybe the GPS or Galileo tracks are the best representation of the actual path traveled? There's no way to know, and that's the problem with trying to do track comparisons.
Yes, the Chinese Apac version indeed has the Beidou with their Fenix 6. It's all up to Garmin to release the firmware update to support it.
Does the APAC version include the other 3 as well?
Looking at the Garmin China website, it only supports GPS and GLONASS (No mention of Galileo or Beidou)
Looking into this, not sure about the 3rd but looks like it has all 4:
The Tactical Instinct (not USA) has all 4:

The third in your first pic is the Japanese QZSS satellite system also known as Michibiki (see it here: https://qzss.go.jp/technical/satellites/index.html#QZSS)
HTH
The hardware supports it, it’s just software to enable it. Then you have how does Garmin process the signal gps + another or is it gps or another depending on so Garmin specific quality metric?
