How long should it take to have a GPS fix? Is there something to speed it up?
I am asking, because it slightly annoys me to go out in front of the door at my home, staring at my watch for a minute or so to finally have GPS and then to start my workout. I was used to have a GPS fix in seconds on my phone.
What I noticed: I start the activity screen (or GPS, does'nt matter) and then I see i tiny fraction in the GPS-circle - so it is starting to get GPS. Then it always tells me to go outdoors, where the reception may be stronger (I already am outdoors) then it needs about 30 seconds, then te GPS-circle nearly fills itself. So I am hopeful? Then it returns to just one tiny fraction and then, finally, after about 40 seconds at least, normally about a minute. And I can't do anything in the meantime, otherwise it seem to lose everything it already aquired and starts over.
I started Garmin Connect in parallel to "sync" if that helps with GPS satellite location. Is there anything, one can do? Like on phones you have aGPS and therefore a fix in mere seconds. Can I "help" my I2 to get to it quicker?
Also it seems, that the elevation is not quite right. Sometimes it is accurate, sometimes it is off - and I have to do a manual Calibration, although I have a GPS-positition. If I recalibrate (by GPS) then it seems more accurate. I have set my I2 to auto-calibrate.
