Running or Cycling with Your Device

Before you go for a run or ride using the device, you must change the profile to fitness (Selecting a Profile).

You can customize your dashboards and data fields for your fitness activities (Custom Data Fields and Dashboards).

  1. If your device is currently recording a track, select Current Track > Pause.

    You can save or delete the current track.

  2. Select Setup > Tracks > Output Format.
  3. Select an option:

    • Select GPX to record your activity as a traditional track that can be viewed on the map and used for navigation.

    • Select FIT to record your activity with fitness information (for example, laps) that is tailored for Garmin Connect™.

    • Select Both to record your data in both formats simultaneously. This setting uses more memory space.

  4. From the main menu, select Stopwatch > Start.
  5. Go for a run or ride.
  6. When finished, select Stop.
  7. Select Reset > Save.
