Satellite Settings

You can change the satellite settings to customize the satellite systems used for each activity. For more information about satellite systems, go to garmin.com/aboutGPS.

From the watch face, press Upper-right button, select Activities, select an activity, press Lower-left button, and select Activity Options > Satellites.

NOTE: This feature is not available for all activities.
Off

Disables satellite systems for the activity.

Use Default

Enables the watch to use the default activity focus mode setting for satellites (Customizing the Activity Focus Mode).

GPS Only

Enables the GPS satellite system.

All Systems

Enables multiple satellite systems. Using multiple satellite systems 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.

UltraTrac

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.
