What kind of GPS update speed can I expect with a Point 1?

My biggest complaint about the Gen 1 is the GPS "speed"

Wondering if the Point 1 will get me close to the Speed of Gen 2 or Gen 3

It will match the speed of the Gen 3 HDS, 10Hz refresh rate.

Do you have your refresh rate set to update every 1 second?

That's the first thing to check, I've noticed that when I do software updates it will change to every 1 minute, I bet yours is not set to 1 second.


But a point 1 is awesome for its heading sensor, the rest of it is no better than what the graphs can do.
