Garmin 945 and GPS Fix

As we see, the Sony chip is not the fastest. Please tell us how long are you waiting for the fix. Minimum maximum average time would be nice and location. If you finde a fix for the problem (settings or so) please let us know. Would be great if Garmin fixes this ridiculously problem. At the end we payed for a premium device and received a not well working pice of hard/software.

So I'm living in Vienna Austria and the minimum time is 2 minutes maximum was18 minutes average at the moment is 5 minutes. Accuracy is most of the time OK.

Until the end of 2020, the connection took less than 1 minute, now from 2 minutes (miracle) to 8 minutes, so I would say an average of 4 minutes.

Czech Republic (Malá Skála)

Im impressed, in vienna i know noone that has this fast gps fix. The persons i talked to live across vienna, so it is not the same place where the execise starts.

What i saw is, the time for gps fix if you sync time or calibrate altitude is much faster then starting a sportive event. But what is the difference? You also need more satellites for altitude, don't know how many you need for timesync.

Which GPS Settings do you have? GPS only, GPS + GLONASS or GPS + GALILEO? Might be worth tinkering with that. Generally it's harder to get a GPX fix in dense cities like Vienna.
