Battery Life
User-replaceable AA batteries (not included) provide up to 19 hours of battery life in GPS tracking mode.

Exactly what you need to navigate.

Accurate Tracking
With support for multiple satellite constellations - such as GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo, QZSS and SBAS - you'll get accurate, reliable tracking and positioning around the world.

More memory than previous models means you can save and track 10,000 waypoints, 250 routes and 300 fitness activity files.
