User Guide

NOTE: When you activate GPS for the first time, or have not

used it for a long time, it might take longer than usual to get a GPS

fix.

Subsequent GPS starts will take less time.

TIP: To minimize GPS initiation time, hold the watch steady

with

GPS facing up and make sure you are in an open area so that the

watch has a clear view of the sky.

Troubleshooting: No GPS signal

•

For an optimal signal, point the GPS part of the watch upwards. The

best signal can be received in an open area with a clear view of the

sky.

•

The GPS receiver usually works well inside tents and other thin

covers. However, objects, buildings, dense vegetation or cloudy

weather can reduce the GPS signal reception quality.

•

GPS signal does not penetrate any solid constructions or water.

Therefore do not try to activate GPS for example inside buildings,

caves, or under water.

8.1.2 GPS grids and position formats

Grids are lines on a map that define the coordinate system used on the

map.

Position format is the way the GPS receiver's position is displayed on the

watch. All the formats relate to the same location, they only express it in a

different way. You can change the position format in the watch settings

under GENERAL / Format / Position format.
