GPS signal strength

Duncan Austin · April 2013

Have been using my mobile phone with gps via map my run but of late have found picking up a signal a problem. Does anyone know do the Garmin/timex watches have more powerful gps receivers than that in mobile phones?

I've never had a problem with my phones. Do you run by tall buildings ?

sounds wierd but try a different app?

i have used Runkeeper mostly but sometimes find that with Endomondo the GPS picks up quicker. (no idea why)

I was using run keeper on my phone, but had to go into the Navigation app for my phone's GPS to pick up my location before going into Runkeeper. Bit of a pfaff and still took a good few minutes, but at least it worked!
