[BUG] GPS off when return to Watch face during activity

Hi,

The bug mentioned in the Alpha report is not resolved in the version 7.11
https://forums.garmin.com/beta-program/forerunner-945-lte/public-alpha-bug-reports/i/public-alpha-bug-reports/gps-off-when-return-to-watch-face-during-activity

In summary, when we go back to the watchface (example to see a widget), the activity loose the GPS and external ANT sensors (I don't know for Bluetooth sensors)
So you are loosing distance, speed, cadence, trace, ... during this time (it is restarting when you switch back to the activity)

Best regards gilles.k

P.S: It is certainly the same issue that we can see for the new 955 (but it was always working with my previous Garmin watches)

FYI My first test seems to confirm that this problem is resolved in the current Beta version 13.21

All,

Please see our recently released beta software for a fix addressing this report. If you prefer to not install this beta software, we hope to be rolling out a public software update soon, though I do not have a timeline for this release. If you are still seeing this issue after installing the beta software, please contribute your observations in the appropriate beta bug reports section of the beta forums for your specific device.
