A utility for the UNA Watch

GPS

Your position on a globe, what the watch's GPS is telling you, and a track recorder that saves where you go as a GPX file.

Three pages

The globe

The world seen from above you, with a dot where you are. Its colour says how sure the receiver is: solid red within about five metres, orange to fifteen, yellow beyond. Tap SELECT for the key.

The status page

Searching, then the time to first fix. Your position in decimal degrees, degrees and minutes, or degrees, minutes and seconds; altitude, accuracy, speed and course.

The track page

Hold SELECT to record. Your trail drawn north up, with the time, the distance and the points kept; a finish flag where you stopped.

Tracks you can keep

  • Each track is a GPX file on the watch, written as it goes, so nothing is lost if the watch stops.
  • Every file notes its settings, the battery at the start and the end, and the positions it was given and skipped, so a gap explains itself.
  • Points by distance, by time, or every position the receiver gives.
  • BACK leaves it recording, a red dot on every page saying so; a battery saver eases off when the battery runs low or the sky is lost, and at 5% the track stops and saves.
  • Plug the watch into a computer and the tracks are in Apps/62E85B7304BAA553/tracks.

No satellite view: the watch tells apps where it is, not how it knows. Open sky helps.
