Turning On Expedition Mode

You can use expedition mode to prolong the battery life. In expedition mode, the screen shuts off, the device enters low power mode, and the device collects fewer GPS track points. You can change how often GPS track points are recorded.

Select to open the apps list.
Select Settings > System > Expedition Mode.
Select an option:
- To enable the device to prompt you to turn on expedition mode when you turn off the device, select Expedition Mode > Prompted.
- To automatically turn on expedition mode after two minutes of inactivity, select Expedition Mode > Auto.
- To never turn on expedition mode, select Expedition Mode > Never.
Select Recording Interval.

In expedition mode, the device collects GPS track points at the frequency indicated.

NOTE: Recording track points less frequently maximizes battery life.

In expedition mode, the green LED flashes occasionally.
