How well does its "Dynamic GPS" operate?

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Presently, I use a Sense 2 (and never have had a Charge ֊series device) under pre‑ firmware 194.61; I benefit from an internal (built‑in, w.r.t. the smartwatch) GPS receiver but not yet from an external counterpart (Bluetooth՚d from linked smartphoneʼs position) location‐honing. What do y'all think of the "Dynamic GPS" of the Charge 5? In particular: How well does it switch from one mode to the other (like when entering a building with insufficient GPS signal, or upon exiting poor GPS coverage or leaving decent cellular network)?, is able it yet to utilize both simultaneously for enhanced precision & accuracy? and How much control do you have over which sources (among its options; of GPS, GloNaSS, smartphone) that it grabs‑from?

 

I suppose that I could inquire pointedly at the Sense 2 forum about its own upcoming location ability, but seeing as (so far; Tue. 2023- 09- 26) seemingly a majority of users that have the latest update are rather dissatisfied with it and very few from none have as yet remarked explicitly (either favorably or otherwise) on its new 'Connected' GPS performance, posing the like question to yߵall Charge5 users makes sense. Furthermore: If anyone in the know can&would affirm specifics regarding the latest firmware unto the Sense 2—pertaining mainly just to capability of its location detection/reconciliation, as the other listed enhancements of the update don't especially strike my fancy— that would be muchly appreciated.

 

 

post‑script aside: Does anyone else here find ʼttoo cute (and quite likely intentional) how each of Fitbit's house brands ostensibly main line wearable fitness device makes corresponds to a different respective integer (of the newest respective current model) that happen together to cover four consecutive ordinals currently greater than "1"? If you glance today at the front page of community.fitbit.com, you'll notice that at the top there be five prominent device options (which if viewed in desktop-view will show them on two rows, the fifth ⅋ ordinal‐absent option “Ace & family accounts” on its own lower tier) together situated directly above the thirteen other Fitbit-brand device-type options for older models grouped by make avatar՚d by much smaller icons (in desktop view totaling four rows, with Zip solo on the bottom), among notable exclusion altogether from newer & older groupings alike being the Google Pixel Watch ֊series (as Google≢Fitbit wrt branding, even though Google⊐Fitbit wrt company hierarchy . . , annoyingly).  Well, of the four №≩1 big icon options sitting at top, the following bijective correspondence holds: ⧼Sense,Versa,Charge,Inspire⧽≘⧼2,4,5,3⧽.  just a wee observation that struck me peculiar (about which enough that felt i compelled adequatetly to remark).
