When the device acquires satellite signals, it automatically starts recording your path as an activity. 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). Multi-band systems use multiple frequency bands and allow for more consistent track logs, improved positioning, improved multi-path errors, and fewer atmospheric errors when using the device in challenging environments. NOTE: You can view satellite locations and available satellite systems on the satellite page (Satellite Page, page 33). GPS: A satellite constellation built by the United States. GPS multi-band: A satellite constellation built by the United States, using the enhanced L5 signal. GLONASS: A satellite constellation built by Russia. GALILEO: A satellite constellation built by the European Space Agency. GALILEO multi-band: A satellite constellation built by the European Space Agency, using the enhanced L5 signal. QZSS multi-band: A satellite constellation built by Japan, using the enhanced L5 signal. IRNSS (NavIC): A satellite constellation built by India, using the enhanced L5 signal.

The page displayed in the middle opens automatically. Opening the Main Menu The main menu gives you access to tools and setup screens for waypoints, activities, routes, and more (Main Menu Tools, page 25, Setup Menu, page 36).
