After switching the clock has in a few seconds a GPS fix. Even the accuracy of altimetry is acceptable, although not installed Garmin barometric altimeter. For the evaluation of the height profiles, it is advisable, however, to carry out a correction of the amount of information (such as the Elevation Correction plugin free software SportTracks that accesses the precise height data from NASA's Elevation Model).
After training, the data is automatically transmitted wirelessly to the computer, which works flawlessly. For the training analysis can rely on the online portal MyGarmin or install the Garmin Training Center software training depending on the selection. Alternatively, the free software SportTracks, which can be expanded with numerous plugins is recommended. The recorded training can be transferred to Facebook also (including track and map information).
Pleasant also the 4 data fields that can display the clock, this is a total of 4 monitors (for a total of 16 information that can be displayed during training) that can be programmed sport specific. However, the clock stands still on a lot more data, so sometimes even more display fields would be desirable. Further highlighting values functions: the virtual training partner, and track record. Also GPS routes can be downloaded from the Internet and played on the clock recommended (by bike-gps.com or gps-tour.info), especially for long bike rides.
Very pleasant also the supplied textile chest strap. The transmission also works alongside high-voltage lines and rail lines without interference; only in the water, there is unfortunately always interruptions.
Less pleasant, the clock function: While the time is displayed as the clock the current time information, however obtained from the GPS satellites, sometimes not true when indoor training the time of day.
