Select the activity settings.

Select GPS.

Select an option:

• Select Normal (GPS Only) to enable the GPS satellite

system.

more accurate position information in situations with poor

sky visibility.

• Select GPS + GALILEO (European Union satellite

system) for more accurate position information in

situations with poor sky visibility.

less frequently (UltraTrac, page 32)

NOTE: Using GPS and another satellite together can reduce

Other Satellite Systems, page 32).

GPS and Other Satellite Systems

The GPS + GLONASS or GPS + GALILEO options offer

increased performance in challenging environments and faster

position acquisition than using GPS only. However, using GPS

and another satellite system together can reduce battery life

more quickly than using GPS only.

UltraTrac

The UltraTrac feature is a GPS setting that records track points

and sensor data less frequently. Enabling the UltraTrac feature

increases battery life but decreases the quality of recorded

activities. You should use the UltraTrac feature for activities that

demand longer battery life and for which frequent sensor data

updates are less important.
