Number of satellites with signal

Post by JungleJim »

I noticed that the H1 receives signal from less satellites than the 67 under exact same circumstances. This observation is based on a walk with both devices on me. The 67 consistently displays 12 or 13 GPS satellites, with solid bars (not blinking). On the H1 it varies between 3 and 7 GPS satellites with a couple blinking. The same for BeiDou and Galileo. Both devices are on Multi-GNSS + Multi-Band.

Anyone else seeing this?

Based on information taken from some other posts, it sounds like the Satellite page does not yet properly report many statistics. Hopefully this will be improved in an upcoming firmware update.
