GPS connection problems

Former Member

Hello everyone.

So, my problem is - my garmin forerunner 735xt cannot connect to GPS. It lasts 2 or 3 weeks(since the last firmware update). If I'm trying to start the activity GPS indicator may blink with 1 stick for hours. Few days ago it even stopped saying "Wait for GPS".

My first thought was firmware, that it had been corrupted during installation. So I tried to downgrade firmware following the guide from this topic:

https://forums.garmin.com/forum/on-the-trail/wrist-worn/fenix-5-5s/1284823-not-software-upgrading-how-to-do-that

But that didn't work, firmware is still 9.40. Is this guide applicable for forerunner? If it isn't could somebody tell me how to downgrade to previous firmware please?


During surfing through the same topics I've checked my GPS version, it's OK - 3.30. I also tried to sync with Garmin Express because somebody said that during sync the clock receives GPS information.That didn't help too.

This problem bothers me a lot. We don't have official garmin service centers here in Ukraine so any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you.
Ruslan.
