    • Press GPS + GLONASS (Russian satellite system) for more accurate position information in situations with poor sky visibility.
    • Press GPS + GALILEO (European Union satellite system) for more accurate position information in situations with poor sky visibility.
    • Select UltraTrac to record track points and sensor data less frequently (UltraTrac).

NOTE: Using GPS and another satellite together can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only (GPS and Other Satellite Systems).

GPS and Other Satellite Systems

Using GPS and another satellite system together offers increased performance in challenging environments and faster position acquisition than using GPS only. However, using multiple systems can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only.

Your device can use these Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).

GPS: A satellite constellation built by the United States.

GLONASS: A satellite constellation built by Russia.

GALILEO: A satellite constellation built by the European Space Agency.

UltraTrac

The UltraTrac feature is a GPS setting that records track points and sensor data less frequently. Enabling the UltraTrac feature increases battery life but decreases the quality of recorded activities. You should use the UltraTrac feature for activities that demand longer battery life and for which frequent sensor data updates are less important.
