How to Prevent Garmin MK1 from Recording Entry & Exit Locations on Dive

Hi all,

I'm wondering if there is a way of disabling the Entry & Exit locations on a dive?

I would still love to record the other dive information, but the Garmin apps share your locations with any of your contacts, which I don't want. I have tried changing privacy, and a friend showed me after I did that that he could still see where I'd been diving.

Thanks in advance.

Rossy.

I'm not sure about the Mk1, but on the Mk2 you can just go into the settings for whichever dive activity you're using (Multi-Gas, Single-Gas, Gauge) and set GPS to "Off".

Hi Nradov, you nailed it. Took a little to find the right settings section, but for anyone else having the same problem in the future this is where it is:

- Top Right button to bring up activity list

Hi Nradov, you nailed it. Took a little to find the right settings section, but for anyone else having the same problem in the future this is where it is:

- Top Right button to bring up activity list

- Scroll Up/Down to activity

- Press & hold left middle button (the Up button), to bring up "Activity x Settings"

- Press the Top Right button to enter those settings

- Scroll down to GPS

- Turn GPS to 'OFF'

Kind regards,
Rossy.
