Hi, I have a GLO 2 from Garmin and there seems to be a weird update problem, which is best explained by the GPS update rate chart, as attached. It was ok for one (first) session, but 4 other track sessions were like this. I made sure to close all other apps before using RaceChrono Pro.
I also have a big (about 7-8 seconds) delay in GPS Vs obd data (it also gets out of sync over time), but that's a different problem, although I feel it's related, because it was not visible in the first session.
Any idea on what might be causing this?
EDIT:
For comparison, here's how it was during the first session - the refresh rate rarely dropped below 7Hz, never below 6 Hz

1) Which phone is it?
2) Does your car connect to the phone using Bluetooth?
It works ok on an older Galaxy S9 phone, another Galaxy S21 unit showed the same behaviour though.
So I did some drives this week and only once did RaceChrono record without GPS update issues. However, I also recorded several (seven) runs with TrackAddict and there were no issues with GPS update rate at all. I cannot post pictures here anymore, but I will be happy to do some more testing/debugging to help narrow down the issue, if that's possible.
I will investigate this issue. It might take some time as I might need to wait for updates on my phones and/or purchase a new phone. But it's on top of my priority list now.
@aol yes, it was updated as well.
Sure, I won't be tracking my car until spring, so no rush.
I had a track day yesterday and data from GPS was very delayed and inconsistent; today I checked just with Racechrono + Glo 2 and the refresh rate was very inconsistent, ranging from 7 Hz to basically zero every ~ten seconds.
Everything works very fine with internal GPS (but 1 Hz, obviously).
I am using Racechrono 7.6.5 and updated the firmware of the Glo 2.
Any hopes or should I just return the Glo 2 and buy something else?
It seems that the Garmin GLO/GLO2 is becoming gradually incompatible with new Android OS versions.
It works!!
Thank you for the quick and excellent feedback.
Can't wait to try it again on track.
I've had issues as well. 4 seconds delay on Android. The fix I got was to unninstall the Bluetoothw GNSS by clearevo and install GPS Connector by PilaBlu. Works fast now, no issues . Perfect.
