First time watch owner: When trying to start an outside activity there is a terminal no connections. No matter what I do, I get the message, "Wait for GPS". I've updated and synced Garmin Express and Garmin Connect. What am I missing? I've seen quite a few write ups using a Google search of others having similar issues All seem to have a unique fix, but I really don't want to venture into a hundred different fix attempts, especially if the "fix' is no longer a viable option. Appreciate any advice. Thanks.
Let the watch connect to your mobile and start the Garmin Connect mobile app. Go outside to have a clear view to the sky. Try to start an activity and wait for signal (that's marked on the left side of the watch's screen).
The newer firmware allows syncing with phone's a-gps, and it provides faster GPS locking.
Nothing works. It was working fine 4 days ago, then Garmin Connect got on update 1 day after, and it hasn't worked ever since. They will probably fix it, but since I still have my return option, I'm really thinking about it.
For the Vivoactive 3, selecting Location Pin will start Waiting for GPS, but it never seems to exit from that message. The user needs to exit after a while and selecting Location Pin again will show the location (with real-time updates) and the option to Save. Maybe it's a bug?
