For best GPS performance, wear the watch on your wrist with the display facing up. Due to the location of
the GPS antenna on the watch, it is not recommended to wear it with the display on the underside of your
wrist. When wearing it on the handlebars of a bike, make sure the display is facing up.

NAVIGATION

Explore the world with confidence with advanced navigation tools, offline maps, and route guidance. The track back and
back to start features both guide you back to the starting point of your session. With route and elevation profiles you
know your current position, how much you've ascended or descended, and how much you still have left to go. With the
third-party app Komoot, you can plan your route for all adventures and easily import the route to your watch, and let
turn-by turn guidance keep you on the right track.

The maps available in the Flow web service include detailed maps of countries and regions, as well as basic maps of
continents and large areas. Basic maps of North America and Europe are pre-installed on your watch. Offline maps are
available as a full-screen map navigation training view on your watch. The training view is enabled by default for most
outdoor sport profiles and can be added to any sport profile that uses GPS.
