Educating Your Stride Sensor
About the stride sensor
This device contains a stride sensor that uses a stride algorithm to learn your pace from your actual speed and your
body's vibration frequency. This allows the device to calculate distance and laps with high precision, as well as measure
your pitch and stride even when GPS signal is lost such as in a tunnel, and so on (SF-710/SF-510 only).
