GPS issues with Suunto and Garmin will happen unfortunately. I’ve had issues when battery is low, sometimes in really stormy weather, or if there are really big trees or buildings around. Keep in mind there will be times when your signal is interrupted as there are only so many satellites around.

So browse the WWW, there’s enough to find for this kind of mishaps
