"Wait for GPS" took more than 15 minutes

Hello,

In the last few days, my device takes more than 15 minutes to acquire GPS. It stays in "Wait for GPS" screen. I'm in the street. It took about 1-2 minutes before. Is there any reason? How can I fix it?

Same issue for me. I'm very angry.

Yep, same problem. This watch is pretty much useless.

Other than what StoneFree already mentioned, if you're still having issues acquiring a GPS signal or if it's taking too long... Expired EPO on a Garmin Outdoor Watch

Try syncing with Garmin Connect right before you go outside for your GPS related activity. I say before you go outside because I never take my phone with me when I cycle.

This fixes it for me. GPS fix takes 5-10 seconds instead of 1-2 minutes. Unsure why, but it is a quick and easy fx.

Except that this doesn't help for the Vivosport

That's true. So do what StoneFree stated. If still no joy, contact Garmin Support
