NOTE: Using GPS and another satellite together can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only (GPS and Other Satellite Systems, page 25). GPS and Other Satellite Systems Using GPS and another satellite system together offers increased performance in challenging environments and faster position acquisition than using GPS only. However, using multiple systems can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only. Your device can use these Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). GPS: A satellite constellation built by the United States. GLONASS: A satellite constellation built by Russia. GALILEO: A satellite constellation built by the European Space Agency. UltraTrac The UltraTrac feature is a GPS setting that records track points and sensor data less frequently.
