Purpose of Wi-Fi on Outdoor Handhelds

Connected features are available for compatible outdoor handhelds when you connect the device to a wireless network or a compatible smartphone using Bluetooth technology. Some features, like BirdsEye Direct, specifically require a Wi-Fi connection, while other features may also work when the handheld is paired with the Garmin Connect™ app on your smartphone.
