  • Tips:

    1. GPS coordinates can easily be sourced in most common map apps like Apple Maps or Google Maps. Simply by clicking any point on the map will display the GPS coordinates.

• Route Navigation:  In the main menu, after clicking "Navigate Saved Route" you will see a list of your saved routes. Clicking any route will allow you the option to review the GPS waypoints or to begin navigation:

  • Tips:

    1. Routes start in "locked" mode. This is to avoid navigating away from the route during your sport. Routes can be unlocked and ended by holding the "unlock" button for 3seconds
