Devices should be installed in heavily trafficked locations that most users pass by at least once per day. Garmin^® recommends obtaining a layout drawing of your building and marking potential installation locations based on regular user foot traffic.

If users are frequently away from the workplace for extended periods of time or use activity trackers that gather additional data such as recorded heart rate, the synchronization data is larger and requires more download time. In these situations, devices should be installed in areas such as break rooms where users typically remain for more than 20 seconds at a time.
