I'm aware and read this in the FAQs some time ago, but I have one question now:
In the case that I use an activity mode where I explicitly assigned my watch NOT TO USE GPS (on watch):
Should Garmin Connect still take the location reference from the mobile?
From what I've tested, no, but I want to confirm it since in the Garmin Connect app I have assigned the use of GPS, data transmission, and an active bluetooth connection with the watch, but I see that it hasn't saved the weather information of this moment on the activity.
Yes, it may sound confusing, but I'm not interested in wasting watch battery life by having the entire route of an activity using the GPS, but I'm interested in having the weather information recorded for it.
On the other hand, if I confirm that it doesn't, I don't understand why GCM continually uses location data. Why?
Thanks!
