GPS reliability clearly wasnt a concern when they made it. Not sure it it was some issue with the hardware drivers or the actual hardware.Įdit: i even removed the protective phone case, thinking it may have some metal particles and weakening the reception. But in this case the signal was far from reliable and evidently borderline. It's a data signal so if it gets the data it's obviously gonna do the same calculations as any other GPS. It did consistently show a weaker signal that day compared to the old Garmin. I assume on startup it was downloading new almanac data from the satellites, so maybe it was getting corrupted and that was why it seemed to help ? Turning the GPS on the phone, on and off, would sometimes seem to solve it. It could be suddenly off by as much as 400ft and occasionally, but rarely, miles. The handheld showed strong signals where the Galaxy would show a weak one and occasionally lose lock on satellites in the same.location. My concern is based on situations where it took ages for my previous Galaxy note to acquire enough satellites for a position and to keep them.Īt one point i decided to test it, using "GPS status and toolbox" against my old Garmin.
