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 www.garmin.com/aboutGPS.
TIP: The satellite settings can impact battery life
Hold UP, select Activities & Apps, select an activity, select the activity settings, and select Satellites.
NOTE: These settings are not available for all activities.
Off: Disables satellite systems for the activity.
Use Default: Enables the watch to use the default system setting for satellites
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.
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.

Calibrating the Compass Manually

Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve heading accuracy, do not stand near objects that
influence magnetic fields, such as vehicles, buildings, and overhead power lines.
Your watch was already calibrated at the factory, and the watch uses automatic calibration by default. If you
experience irregular compass behavior, for example, after moving long distances or after extreme temperature
changes, you can manually calibrate the compass.
1 Hold UP.
2 Select Sensors & Accessories > Calibrate Compass.
3 Follow the on-screen instructions.
TIP: Move your wrist in a small figure eight motion until a message appears.
