The following test can prove that GARMIN Watch starts running with GPS after connecting with Bluetooth footpod, and does not refer to the distance data of Bluetooth footpod, so I have to turn off the GPS and start running. I hope you can make adjustments in this article so that Garmin Watch can use the distance data of Bluetooth footpod when connecting with Bluetooth footpod and starting GPS.
Test 1: (1) Prepare a Bluetooth footpod
(2) and connect Polar VM2 (Treadmill mode)
(3) and Garmin 255 (start GPS, run and start automatic calibration).
