How does GPS tracking work?
GPS tracking means that when running with your smartphone, you will be able to track the route you have covered on a map in the Withings App. Also, additional workout metrics such as duration, distance, heart rate, and pace are displayed in real-time during the workout on your watch screen and on your phone.
Activating GPS tracking
To activate the GPS tracking, you need to launch a distance-based outdoor activity workout session. To do so, perform the following steps:
- Go to the Workout menu of your ScanWatch Vitals.
- Scroll the side button of the watch to navigate through the activities and select the activity of your choice. Your workout session starts.
- Press and hold the side button until it vibrates to pause or to stop your workout session.
ScanWatch Vitals offers GPS tracking for all distance-based outdoor activities such as walking, running, biking, and canoeing.
Notes:
- ScanWatch Vitals needs to be connected via Bluetooth. GPS tracking requires you to enable your location settings of your smartphone.
- GPS tracking will only be possible if the "energy saving" mode is deactivated on your smartphone.
