GPS lock lost just before starting

Hi all,

I have an annoying issue with my Forerunner 955 : I quickly get the GPS lock (the progress bar turns to green) but it often happens that I lose it before I start my activity. So if I don't pay attention and wait again, the beginning of the route will not be recorded. The second GPS lock seems to be the good one but it takes longer

I think my location is not very GPS friendly because when I used a Forerunner 245 I regularly had to wait 5 min for the GPS lock. The faster lock time of the 955 is welcome but if it's not really true, it's pointless.

I use 2 sensors with my watch : a HRM-run chest belt and a Stryd foot pod set as an ANT+ accelorometer. The distance and pace come from the Stryd. It doesn't impact my data to start before the GPS lock but I want complete routes on the map.

Here is my last activity where half of the route is missing : https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/9409751847
I was using the StrydWorkoutApp for this activity and had absolutely no idea that the GPS was not ready as this app main field become green as soon as the first gps lock happens and doesn't change.
