    Well, with this update I'm experiencing my first delays in acquiring GPS signal. Ironic.

    another great drop by garmin (/s). Prior to this I could get a GPS lock in a few seconds. Now it takes 5+ minutes each time. I tried a GPS soak where you let it sit idle for 20 minutes after acquiring a lock, but it doesn't make a difference. These buggy software/firmware drops are getting old...

    I'm attempting another Factory reset, as since this update the altitude calibration is up to crap again...

    My altimeter may say 5m, then I select a walking activity, and on GPS signal acquired I press start... altitude still 5m (which is about correct) but then I take a few steps and the altimeter read -19m... So I stop again, delete the activity, and try again this time waiting over a minute after GPS signal is acquired... eventually, it comes back to 5.5m and I can start my walk. 

    The result of this 2 meter walk, is now Garmin Connect has logged 9 flights of stairs for Floors Descended. Brilliant.

    What a let down Garmin. Seriously.

    My VA4S-watch has no issues with GPS fix times after upgrading to 4.60.

    killed my gps fix time as well 5+ mins today, 500-600 meters before it started recording route but then recorded my 7.3km run as 8km - very strange. Will try the gps 'soak' technique tomorrow

    This version of GPS software completely destroy time to get a gps lock, but most importantly destroy GPS and GPS+GLONASS accuracy.

    Strange. I haven't noticed any change in accuracy with my VA4S. I also use GPS + GLONASS.

    Mine will not update the CPE Info unless I sync through Express on the PC. It's taken 20 minutes to get a fix with the CPE Info expired. It used to have no issue updating the CPE Info through Connect.

    I\m not sure it the issues started with this 4.60 update but the last week GPS is horrible on my watch... Takes forever to get a GPS lock and recorded tracks are very inaccurate... After a very bumpy start with the Vivoactive 4 I had no problems the last couple of months, But if this doesn't get fixed very soon my next watch won't be another Garmin. And that's unfortunate, because IF it works properly I'm very satisfied with my VA4...
