Locating a Phone Lost During a GPS Activity

Your Forerunner® watch automatically stores a GPS location when your paired phone is disconnected during a GPS activity. You can use this feature to help locate a phone that is lost during an activity.

For more information, see garmin.com/findmyphonewithgps.

  1. Start a GPS activity.
  2. When prompted to navigate to the last known location of your device, select Check mark.
  3. Navigate to the location on the map.
  4. Press Lower-left button to view a compass pointing to the location (optional).
  5. When your watch is within Bluetooth® range of your phone, the Bluetooth signal strength appears on the screen.

    The signal strength increases as you move closer to your phone.
