Indoor Activities
The Descent device can be used for training indoors, such as
running on an indoor track or using a stationary bike. GPS is
turned off for indoor activities.
When running or walking with GPS turned off, speed, distance,
and cadence are calculated using the accelerometer in the
device. The accelerometer is self-calibrating. The accuracy of
the speed, distance, and cadence data improves after a few
outdoor runs or walks using GPS.
TIP:
Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces accuracy.
You can use an optional foot pod to record pace, distance, and
cadence.
When cycling with GPS turned off, speed and distance are not
available unless you have an optional sensor that sends speed
and distance data to the device (such as a speed or cadence
sensor).
Outdoor Activities
The Descent device comes preloaded with apps for outdoor
activities, such as running and open water swimming. GPS is
turned on for outdoor activities. You can add apps using default
activities, such as walking or rowing. You can also add custom
sport apps to your device (
).
Viewing Your Ski Runs
Your device records the details of each skiing or snowboarding
run using the auto run feature. This feature is turned on by
default for downhill skiing and snowboarding. It automatically
records new ski runs based on your movement. The timer
pauses when you stop moving downhill and when you are on a
chairlift. The timer remains paused during the chairlift ride. You
can start moving downhill to restart the timer. You can view run
details from the paused screen or while the timer is running.
