UltraTrac

The UltraTrac feature is a GPS setting that 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. The default interval between track
points is one point per minute. You can adjust the interval.

3D Speed and Distance

You can set 3D speed and distance to calculate your speed or
distance using both your elevation change and your horizontal
movement over ground. You can use it during activities such as
skiing, climbing, navigating, hiking, running, or biking.
