Improving GPS Satellite Reception

  • Frequently sync the watch to your Garmin account:
    • Connect your watch to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application.
    • Sync your watch to the Garmin Connect app using your Bluetooth enabled phone.
    • Connect your watch to your Garmin account using a Wi-Fi wireless network.

While connected to your Garmin account, the watch downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to quickly locate satellite signals.

  • Take your watch outside to an open area away from tall buildings and trees.
  • Remain stationary for a few minutes.
