Back to Starting Point
The Back to starting point feature guides your way back to the starting point. When the training computer
finds the GPS satellite signals in the beginning of the training session, your location is saved as a starting
point.
When it is time to return to your starting point, do the following:
Browse to the BACK TO START-view.
Keep the RC3 GPS in a horizontal position in front
of you ("POLAR" logo facing forward).
Keep moving in order for the RC3 GPS to
determine which direction you are going. An arrow
will point in the direction of your starting point.
To get back to the starting point, always turn in
the direction of the arrow.
The RC3 GPS also shows direction coordinates
and the direct distance (beeline) between you and
the starting point.
When you reach the starting point, Starting point reached
is displayed.
Always keep a map at hand in case the RC3 GPS loses the satellite signal or the battery runs out.
This feature uses the GPS function. Set GPS function on in Sport Profile Settings (page 29).
