Waypoint-radius
Here you can adjust when exactly a waypoint is reached. Basic setting is 30
meters (98,43 feet). So when you enter this radius, the waypoint is reached.
You can also adjust the radius manually (from 10 to 200 meters/ 32,81 to
656,17 feet).
To adjust the waypoint-radius manually, hold the “MODE”-button to
get to the menu, choose “Navigation” “WP Radius”.
Now you can adjust the waypoint radius
Start GPS
Please carefully read the hints mentionend in chapter 5 “General information
regarding the GPS reception”.
The search for satellites under best conditions normally lasts app. 1 min.
when started cold, about 10 seconds when started warm.
Cold start is the first start ever or the first start after being inactive for a long
time. We also talk about a cold start, when the watch was moved more than
300 km (186,41 miles), from the last point of calibration. The GPS-watch does
not know the exact constellation of the satellites and has to regain the data.
Once this step is finished, there is only the warm start, which lasts app. 10
seconds. A warm start can only work, if the GPS-watch was not carried over
far distances since its last location calibration. The more satellites move since
its last location calibration, the longer the search for satellites will last.
For a good GPS-reception it is important to know that the watch should lie
even and shall not be moved.
Indication: Before you start your workout, lay your GPS-watch in open area
with view to the sky (e.g. window board, car roof) and start the search for
satellites.
