By default, the GPS function is set to On. Keep in mind, this setting controls whether the watch
will search for satellites when a workout is started. It is recommended that you keep GPS
setting to On.
Race Mode: On, Race Distance, Off.
Race Mode provides you with helpful information while competing in races. Don't you hate it
when your GPS times out while you are in the hopper waiting to start the race? Or when you
spend half of the race calculating your finish time in your head? Those days are over.
When activated, Race Mode:

Keeps the GPS activated, no matter how long it takes you to get to the start line.

Provides an additional Training Page that uses your Current Pace to estimate:
o Race Time: Estimated race time.
o Finish Time: Time of Day the race will be complete.
o Dist. Left: Distance remaining to finish the race.
Your TIMEX IRONMAN GPS watch is preloaded with common race distances.
