A-GPS
The watch has a function called “A-GPS” (Assisted global Positioning System).
A-GPS is a method, which fastens the search for a good GPS-reception under
bad weather conditions. The A-GPS data will be saved on a server and
transferred to the watch via the Runtastic Connect. The validity period of this
data is 7 days.
In order to use this function you require
internet access.
Download the A-GPS data
Connect the watch with the USB cable and
then plug in the cable to your computer.
As soon as the watch is linked to the
computer, the A-GPS data will be
transferred to the watch.
GPS starting
Here, follow especially the indications from point 5 "General information
regarding GPS reception".
In optimal conditions, in cold start, the search of the satellites takes approx. 1
minute, and in warm start, approximately 10 seconds.
We talk about cold start when the GPS watch is used for the first time, it has
not been used for a long time, or it has been moved for a quite long distance
from the last determination of the position (e.g. 300 km).
