No GPS elevation setting in running activity.

EricBoleFeysot over 3 years ago

Hi, I noticed a strange behavior when setting elevation through gps in running activity.

When I want to set elevation before running, I only have 2 options (manual or DEM), no gps.

Then I go back one step and try again and then it's there...Is it a bug, or a problem in my activity ?

I'm on the latest non-beta firmware version.

Perhaps GPS elevation is not available until the watch gets a GPS fix. When you initiate the procedure the watch still waits for GPS, so GPS-calibrated altitude is not available, but when you try again a couple of seconds later, GPS is green, and the option becomes available. Just guessing...

Could be that, but no. Gps fix is started after selecting the elevation setting option. Then you wait for the fix and elevation is updated.
Note that the gps elevation setting is available immediately in other activities, I only get this problem with 'running'.
