(Resolved) - GPS Issues Starting January 1st, 2021

Oh, my problem is solved now. I had a track log on January 2 and the first 15-minute part was shifted more than 500 metres away.

Update: I have recorded about 3 activities today for ~ 1 hour each. At the end of the 3rd activity the CPE is now displaying current

I have Instinct solar, two walking activities were fine 1.1. but 2.1. the activities were already 600 m further from the point of switching on. GPS searches for a signal for a very long time. I have GPS set up, I try GPS + Glonas, I use it in the mountains, it's much more accurate than just GPS. The girlfriend has Vivoactive 4S and she has inaccuracies since 1.1. We started from the same place and she started 500 m elsewhere, the routes met up to 1 km! I also have an expired CPE.

3/1/2021 Update -  the issue seems to be gone... 

Looking forward to an update after which gps wil work perfectly again on my instinct solar!

Not for me. Have just finished a run with FR45s. CPE was ‘current’ before the run and had been waiting a few minutes to get a fix. Recorded path is scrambled and the total distance is off by ~10% compared to Apple Watch and FR645m 

Thanks, that's good to know. After I do a 1+ hr activity, mine shows current too, but by the next morning, it's expired again...not helpful to have a current CPE after an activity I also deleted the remoteSW file yesterday, and resync'd to garmin express, but that didn't help. So, as I just now finished a 2hr activity, it's "current".. But will likely be expired tomorrow. Thanks for the info!

Seems to affect the Instinct Solar as well. Took me over 15min to acquire GPS this afternoon...
