Settings for Running activities
Before you start an activity you can choose a
training program
and also decide what information you
would like to see as you train.
There are a wide range of metrics that you can choose to see while running including calories, heart,
heart rate zone and distance.

Settings for Cycle activities
Note
:
Cycle
is available on the TomTom Multi-Sport.
You can log your heart rate, speed and location using the integrated sensors when cycling.
If you want to review your performance while cycling, in the interest of your own safety it is best to
mount the GPS watch using the supplied
bike mount
so that you can keep both hands on the handle
bars.
If you want to review your heart rate while cycling, we recommend connecting an optional external
heart rate sensor so that you can review your heart rate safely.
Setting the wheel size for use with a cadence sensor
If you are using a
cadence sensor
, you should set the
Wheel size
setting to increase the accuracy of
the metrics provided by the sensor. This setting is the circumference of your rear tyre in millimetres
(mm).
To set your wheel size, do the following:
1. From the activity start screen, move down to open the
Settings
menu.
2. Select
Wheel size
, then move right.
3. Set the size so it's correct for your rear wheel.
To find the circumference of your rear wheel, you can either measure the wheel yourself using a tape
measure, or look up the value in an online calculator. For example, on this site you can find the
circumference using the diameter of the wheel and the thickness of the tyre:
www.bikecalc.com/wheel_size_math
For example, if your wheel size is 700c and the tyres are 25 mm thick, the circumference is 2111 mm.
This is the value you should enter.

metres or yards.
