satellites. Further, comply with point 5 "General information regarding GPS reception" from the operating instructions. What does "GPS lost" display mean? "GPS lost" display on the screen of the GPS watch means that it does not receive GPS signal or all the signals from the satellites were lost. For this, see point 6.3.3. "Training" of the operating instructions. Why can’t I see on the display? Why doesn’t the display light work? Check if the accumulators are charged and charge them if needed.
How exact does the GPS watch show? The exactness depends on the reception of the satellites. The indication of exactness is based on the so-called CEP 50% (Circular Error Probability). This means that, in case of a very good reception from the satellites 50% of all measurements will be in a circle with the indicated half-line of 3 m. It also means that half of the measurement points are outside this half-line. Further, however, 95% of all the measurement points are in a circle with double halfline.
Can I use the GPS watch also for measuring properties, houses etc? The sports computer of the GPS is used only for free time activities/hobbies. Do not use the GPS watch when measurements demand professional accuracy. For climbing, trekking laps, cycling laps etc will I have to use only the GPS watch instead of maps and compass? The GPS watch was designed to complete other forms of navigation, e.g. maps, compasses. It does not replace them directly. Do not use the GPS watch as a sole navigation support.
