Enabling Secondary Satellite Constellations on a Garmin Outdoor Watch
Enabling a secondary satellite constellation allows for your watch to more quickly acquire a satellite fix, and can help maintain satellite connection in degraded signal situations where the environment may be a factor. If you are experiencing issues with speed and distance due to degraded GPS signal, enabling a secondary satellite constellation may help. Some watches have a secondary constellation enabled by default. Check out What Is GPS? to learn more about GPS or other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).
