FEATURES
GPS
Your watch has built-in GPS that provides accurate speed, distance and altitude measurement for a range of outdoor
sports, and allows you to see your route on map in the Flow app and web service after your session.
The watch uses Assisted GPS (A-GPS) to acquire a fast satellite fix. The A-GPS data tells your watch the predicted
positions of the GPS satellites. This way the watch knows where to search for the satellites and thus is able to acquire
signals from them within seconds, even under difficult signal conditions.
The A-GPS data updates once a day. The latest A-GPS data file is automatically updated to your watch each time you
sync it with the Flow web service via FlowSync software or via the Flow app.
A-GPS EXPIRY DATE
The A-GPS data file is valid for up to 14 days. Positioning accuracy is relatively high during the first three days, and
progressively decreases during the remaining days. Regular updates help to ensure a high level of positioning
accuracy.
You can check the expiry date for the current A-GPS data file from your watch. Go to Settings > General settings >
About your watch > Assisted GPS expires. If the data file has expired, sync your watch with the Flow web service via
FlowSync software or with the Flow app to update A-GPS data.
Once the A-GPS data file has expired, more time may be required for acquiring your current position.
