Activity Settings

Customizes the recording settings for the current activity type (Activity Settings).

NOTE: Auto pause and auto lap settings are activity-specific.

Record Method

Sets how the device records activity data. The Smart option (default) records points at a variable rate to create an optimum representation of your path and allows for longer activity recordings. The Every Second option records points every second and provides more detailed activity recordings, but may not record entire activities that last for longer periods of time.

Auto Start

Sets the device to start a new recording automatically when the device acquires satellites.

Auto Save

Sets an automated schedule to save your recordings. This helps organize your trips and save memory space (Auto Save Settings).

Output Format

Sets the device to save the recording as a FIT or a GPX and FIT file (File Types). The FIT option records your activity with fitness information that is tailored for the Garmin Connect™ application and can be used for navigation. The FIT and GPX option records your activity as both a traditional track that can be viewed on the map and used for navigation, and as an activity with fitness information.

Trip Recording

Sets a trip recording option.
