Hi there,

Under Settings > Activities & Apps > Run > Run Settings > GPS

The 3 options available are:
- Normal (GPS Only)
- GPS + Glonass
- UltraTrac

what did you all set to ?

Thanks
  • I would definitely use ultratrac as it gives the longest battery life by far.
  • Depends on what you use it for...

    If you want a accurate track recording, I would use gps set to 1 second. gps+glonass gets no better sat signal, it only gets a more stable sat signal under difficult conditions (and consumes about 20% more battery).

    Thanks but I do have have the 1 second option.

    I only have 3 options under Settings > Activities & Apps > Run > Run Settings > GPS and they are:

    - Normal (GPS Only)
    - GPS + Glonass
    - UltraTrac

    Are you referring to Normal (GPS Only) ? Thanks

    gps+glonass gets no better sat signal, it only gets a more stable sat signal under difficult conditions (and consumes about 20% more battery).


    No wonder, I set to "GPS + Glonass" and the battery really runs out fast ...

    Thanks
