For a while now, my Garmin was taking too long to get a GPS fix. However, I found that if I just start the activity (usually run) it gives the distance.
This carried on for some time, but then I noticed that my recorded activities had no map and no position data. They still had distance and speed data.
Now I've tried "Waiting for GPS" for several hours, until the battery runs flat. A week ago I did manage to get a fix, and recorded an activity with map, but since then, it refuses to find the position, even after hours of being still, with a view of the sky.
I also suspect that - without position data - it over states how far I run in football (soccer). Though jogging seems accurate.
I know that GPS first-fix takes a lot of processing, but this is clearly not working. I've tried syncing with Garmin Connect and Garmin Express (sazs Software version 8.10 with "no new updates"). But still, get a permanent "Waiting for GPS" activity.
I've tried with GPS + Galileo, and just GPS. Same result.
I think the GPS sensors are working as it gives distance (which is just change of position) and speed (which is just change of distance), but it can't somehow locate the absolute position.
Any suggestions?
