Losing GPS Signal

The device continuously loses the GPS signal every 3/5 minutes. I tried to select the different satellite options (GPS, GPS + Glonass and GPS + Galileo) but continues to lose the signal for a few seconds (2-3 "). I performed a hard reset as recommended by the Garmin service but I have not solved. This problem affects the Live Strava Segments which, as soon as the signal is lost, stop instantly.

Only sensor used is heart. No cadence or speed. Every five or ten mins the pause beeps sound and the 2 lines/ arrowhead display as if you stopped/started no matter what speed, 20, 30, 40 kph

The pause works when I stop. it's as if you lost GPS but in complete open space, no trees .....

Ok, thanks for claritication.

Do you get also the beep+message: „satellite lost“ - and after a while: „satellite found“?
So, do you really lose GPS (satellite lost) or is it „only“ a speed problem with GPS?

Not had any message saying satellite lost , or found. So maybe a speed problem with GPS ....

it happens quite quick - beep pause, beep moving immediately after each other.

So, it seems not to be a „Losing GPS Signal“ problem.
And it is very strange if speed is taken from GPS.

What you describe - quick sequences of pause/start - I only know, if speed is taken from an ebike as sensor. But you say: no speed sensor...

If you have no GPS problem in general and the speed problem persists, I would invest a frontwheel hub speedsensor. It is not very expensive but very reliable. (And much more precise than GPS speed.)
