GPS and Other Satellite Systems

The default satellite system setting is GPS. The GPS + GLONASS or GPS + GALILEO options offer increased performance in challenging environments and faster position acquisition. Using GPS and another satellite together can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only.
