3d speed and Distance?

what‘s exactly happening with this function and when using it?

when should i set this on - exept Mountainearing, Climbing, Skiing etc.?

Does it make sense to set it on Roadbike and Running on or not? Why on or why better off?

how about MountainBike and TrailRuning?
Better have it on or off and why?

3 d speed and distance shall be more accurate if there is a lot of ascent and descent on your way. For activities with litte ascent/descent there is no big difference, if you use it or not.

If i understand you right might it make sense to put 3d speed and 3d distance on if you're often in the Mountains for MTB or Trailrunning...
And even if you don't run up and down it doesn't hurt or give any wrong information, rigt?

The resent I'm asking is because of a "Mountain" Triathlon this Saturday where the Course mainly goes up and down in the Montains, espacialy the MTB and TrailRunning Part.

Would probably be good to set there The 3d Speed and 3d Distance to ON, since MTB goes only UP and DOWN and Running is (beside the first 6k only Uphill and over 2000m Altitude over 20K)

Or what would you recommend?
3d on or off?

The question is, why isn't this turned on by default.

Ok, thanks for your replay and suggestion. Set it now for the MTB and Trail running Part to ON...
