What GPS do you have?

I was always under the assumption that all these virtual o apps were used on phone and that wasn't really appealing. Assuming the coordinates could be calibrated accurately, having this on the watch actually has potential.

Hard to be 100% accurate for a few reasons but you can have the watch 'punch' at between 5 and 20m.

It's just an app for punching when orienteering so could make a training course without controls that bit better with the confirmation that you are in the right place.

Not checked but i'm going on the assumption that the co-ordinates need to be LAT/LONG because that's what GPS use, so that may have a bearing on your map.

Handy, I've the same watch. I think the punching could be useful even with 20m for training.
