Operation Manual

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.
•
If no GPS signal is found, reset GPS (see Section 13.1 Service menu on
page 88).
11.1.2 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. For information on changing the position format, see
Chapter 13 Adjusting settings on page 85.
You can select the format from the following grids:

different formats:
