GPS3 v1.6.5 – A Smoother, Smarter Surf Experience

 

Forgot to end your session and ended up logging a marathon of “mystery waves”? We’ve got the update to fix it. GPS3 v1.6.5 brings smarter detection, faster connection, and a bunch of behind‑the‑scenes upgrades to make your surf tracking more accurate than ever.

 

What’s new in v1.6.5:

  •  End Surf Detect: Automatically prompts you to end your session if you’ve been walking for more than a minute. No more accidental all‑day surfs.
  • Improved Tracking Accuracy: More accurate top speed readings and total‑distance calculations, with improved filtering for GPS glitches.
  • Updated Moon Data: New lunar database covering 31/1/2025 through to 1/1/2036.
  • Faster Satellite Lock: Quick restart now connects to satellites in under a minute, so you can paddle out sooner.
  • Auto‑Set Location Accuracy Fix: More precise location detection when your GPS auto‑sets, especially for locations close together.
  • Clock Calibration Upgrade: Your watch now self‑corrects the time using GPS for improved accuracy.
  • Extended Heat Timer: Timeout (when the watch returns to regular Time Mode) has been increased to 20 minutes, so the Heat Timer won’t exit during long lulls.

 

These upgrades deliver better accuracy and sharper insights to help improve your surfing and get you in the lineup quicker.
