Garmin’s Fenix 9 Pro has GPS problems and app devs are frustrated

TL;DR The Fenix 9 Pro is causing headaches for third-party apps that use the GPS module.

Developers are accusing Garmin of only giving priority to issues that affect first-party software.

One developer blames Garmin’s sluggish response time to reported issues for why their app has far more negative reviews on the Connect IQ store than on other platforms.

When it comes to squashing bugs, some companies are quicker than others. While Garmin is not exactly the fastest to roll out resolutions, it’s not the slowest either . At least, that’s the case when it comes to its own software. When it comes to third-party apps, it may be another case entirely. Now, some developers are calling the company out for its sluggish response times.

The recently launched Garmin Fenix 9 Pro is reportedly causing headaches for third-party apps that rely on the GPS module. As one developer explains on Garmin’s community forum (via Notebookcheck ), the GPS module cuts out after about 14 seconds on roughly half of all sessions started. As a result, users are unable to obtain accurate GPS data when they use non-Garmin navigation and workout apps.
