Indoor Activities
The vívoactive 3 device can be used for training
indoors, such as running on an indoor track or using a
stationary bike. GPS is turned off for indoor activities.
When running or walking with GPS turned off,
speed, distance, and cadence are calculated using the
accelerometer in the device. The accelerometer is self-
calibrating. The accuracy of the speed, distance, and
cadence data improves after a few outdoor runs or
walks using GPS.
TIP: Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces
accuracy. You can use an optional foot pod to record
pace, distance, and cadence.
When cycling with GPS turned off, speed and distance
are not available unless you have an optional sensor
that sends speed and distance data to the device (such
as a speed or cadence sensor).
