Hi there,
Is it possible to read/modify the .gps file or can someone say what the contents of the file is?
A long shot, but was thinking that if the .gps file stores the list of satellites, that the slowness of watches connecting to GPS could be down to the watch having to go through each satellite until it finds that one that is above you. If this is the case, can the list be cut down or reordered to prioritise what satellites the watch is looking for?
Please have a look at Wikipedia on GPS.
The file is an ALMANAC to calculate the precise GPS satellite orbits. All of the information is needed, as all satellites will cross your position during a day. This info is also transmitted from the satellites, but with a very low transmission rate. So you would have to wait a few minutes until the messages are received AND you need a good connection so the received data is not corrupted.

I am coming from a Garmin Forerunner 405. I seriously am missing it a lot. The only problems I have is that the Nike+ and the built in running app are the only two that actually work outside of using the phone's GPS. My old watch used to tell me pace, distance, elapsed time, heartrate(with a monitor) and if you pressed a switch screen button it would give you a paceman that you could set. It's basically a digital person who always keeps the same pace and tells you how far ahead or behind you are. I also want the display to be always on(during the run) like the clock can. It gets frustrating having to run and play with the watch to see your pace or time. Here are a few screenshots of what I mean. I would be 100% willing to pay good money for an app like this.

The white text is the only thing that shows when the display is dim, rest appears when it is awake.
Time shows when cards come up on the screen if you have preview enabled, and charge/cloud icons appear above the time and do not get jumbled in it.
Single digit minutes show up as "o' six" so it don't look odd.
Would you be able to make a more dynamic version? for example one that stays all the writing on all the time (battery wise its the same thing, since the g watch has lcd not amoled), and to insult the day of the week also? ( fvck! It's monday, shiet, it's tuesday...you get my drift). If you can, put it on play store, I, and probably many more, would be more than willing to pay a dollar or two for a more dynamic version of this
I recently ran the No Business 100 foot race in KY/Tennessee. The Stratos seemed to do well during the race tracking mileage (although compared to my friend's Garmin it seemed to lose some miles toward the end, I finished the race showing 94 miles, when the actual distance was 102). When I uploaded the data after the race, there was an additional 230ish miles tacked on to the front of the activity. It showed that my starting point was near Charlotte, NC, and traveled a straight line to the actual start of the race in Stearns, KY, followed my my actual GPS route along the race course. Has anyone every experienced anything like this?

Hey guys ! Here is my new Amazfit GPS Scanner Locator. The idea is just to store immediatly the current gps location (or may be many locations?) and to display the return direction and distance. The display is like a compass style , the magnetic sensor allows to rotate the compass to real north direction, and it's possible to display the real return direction !
Radar style locator

Congratulations, a very interesting project.
Is it possible to think of having it also for AMAZFIT verge?
Thank you very much
Keep up this good job.

I regularly use my Mi A3 at my desk (inside). Unfortunately this leads to a massive reduction in dataspeed compared to outside my door. Would an externat antenna fix this and, if so, how to I install one?
You use a cell phone signal booster, it's wireless.
My cell phone is my modem. My ISP signal comes to the phone and transfers via Hotspot to a tp-link connector and thence into my PC. It is data flow to the PC that I am really interested in.

Desk is where the PC is. All the other locations are within ten minutes bus ride from home. Is the 'cell phone signal booster' going to help?
Not sure... it may not.
Voice calls don't use that much bandwidth.
Thanks. I'll check the signal strength at those other locations.
