Technologies
-
GPS
The route planner, along with the "Find Home" (return home) and "Track Back" (return) functions, allows you to navigate through unknown spaces with complete safety and simplicity.
-
Altimètre
Calculate the altitude, the rate of ascent or descent, and provide an overview of the progress during a stopover.
-
Cardiofréquencemètre
The altimeter and heart rate measurement functions analyze how the heart responds to altitude and easily find the hiking pace.
-
Baromètre
Detect sudden changes in weather conditions by keeping an eye on the barometric pressure.
-
Boussole
Allows navigation and determination of landmarks on the horizon to find one's way in the wilderness and in conditions of poor visibility.
-
Alarme d'orage
Triggered by a rapid drop in barometric pressure, the storm alarm warns of the imminent deterioration of weather conditions.
-
Alarmes de lever/coucher du soleil
To avoid being caught off guard in the dark with the indication of sunrise/sunset times for over 400 locations around the world.
-
Cartographie hors ligne
Discover the world around you with free offline maps that display terrain details, paths, and contour lines.
-
FusedAlti
FusedAlti provides an altitude reading by combining GPS altitude and barometric altitude. This technology reduces temporary errors and discrepancies in the final altitude measurement.
-
FusedSpeed
FusedSpeedTM uniquely combines the measurements taken by the GPS and the wrist acceleration sensor to more accurately measure your running speed. The GPS signal is adaptively filtered based on the wrist acceleration, resulting in more precise readings at constant running speeds and faster adjustments to speed variations.
-
Ghost runner
This feature allows you to have a virtual pacer to accompany you on your runs. During your first kilometer, the ghost will determine your target pace (which will be the average of your first kilometer). Then, based on your speed, the value in the center that represents the distance to the virtual pacer will be either positive if you are ahead, or negative if the pacer is ahead of you. You can also set the target pace by doing a "lap"; it will be set to the average pace of the lap. Additionally, you can add a time or distance goal, and the estimated value at the end of the goal will appear at the bottom of the screen based on your current speed.
