Hi chaps,

I've got a Garmin Forerunner 230, and it's not finding a GPS signal. I've tried updating, restarting, hard resetting, leaving the watch outside facing the sky, switching between Gps and gps and GLONASS. Nothing's worked.

Has anyone had this problem before?

Cheers

Ricks

They can struggle if there's too many activities stored on them, but TBH over time my Garmin has done this as well, I put it outside looking for Satellites while I get ready and changed for a run, by the time I'm ready the thing has normally found one...but nowadays I'm finding the strava on my phone an easier option.

Sorry, not much help.

Garmin's technical support is pretty good. Would recommend giving them a call.

Cheers guys, emailed support, and they're out until Monday so will give them a bell if I can find the time.

Hard reset already, didn't fix it unfortunately.
