NAVIGATION MODE
This mode provides useful information related to WAYPOINTS in a PATH.
Setting Navigation Mode Style
There are 3 Navigation Mode Styles - each with a different navigational function.
WAYPOINT:
The ACTIVE waypoint is the ‘destination.’ Select WAYPOINT if you want to travel to
a specific waypoint in the active path. Select the ACTIVE waypoint in the GoTo function to mark
your destination.
FORWARD:
The LAST waypoint is the ‘destination.’ Select FORWARD if you want to travel to the
last waypoint in the active path. Select the NEAREST waypoint in the GoTo function before you
start. When the NEAREST waypoint is reached, the watch will navigate to the next waypoint in
the active path until the destination (LAST waypoint) is reached.
BACKWARD:
The FIRST waypoint is the ‘destination.’ Select BACKWARD if you want to travel to
the first waypoint in the active path. Select the NEAREST waypoint in the GoTo function before
you start. When the NEAREST waypoint is reached, the watch will navigate to the next waypoint
in the active path until the destination (FIRST waypoint) is reached.
WAYPOINT > FORWARD > BACKWARD
- PRESS & HOLD MODE to enter the Setting Sequence.
- PRESS ST / STP or LAP / RESET to select NAVIGATION, then PRESS VIEW.
- PRESS ST / STP or LAP / RESET to select NAVIGATION MODE, then PRESS VIEW.
- PRESS ST / STP or LAP / RESET to select the desired NAVIGATION MODE STYLE, then PRESS VIEW.
Setting Waypoint Radius
The NAVIGATION Mode provides detailed information when you are traveling to a selected
waypoint. The remaining distance to the final destination is one key part of the information. The
distance selected for the Waypoint Radius will mark your ‘arrival’ to the final destination (ranging
from 50ft - 650ft).
- PRESS ST / STP or LAP / RESET to select WP RADIUS, then PRESS VIEW.
- PRESS ST / STP or LAP / RESET to select the desired RADIUS, then PRESS MODE.
Recording Waypoints
There are 3 ways to record waypoints:
- LAP > WAYPOINT SMART LAP (mentioned earlier)
- INDIVIDUAL WAYPOINT (via watch)
- WAYPOINT (via PC Software)
LAP > WAYPOINT SMART LAP:
BE AWARE: A maximum of 99 WAYPOINTS can be recorded in a PATH. If the WAYPOINT limit is
reached during an exercise routine, all excess waypoints will be ignored.
Waypoints stored using LAP > WAYPOINT SMART LAP are automatically recorded based on the
SMART LAP DISTANCE. During an exercise routine, a series of waypoints (PATH) will be created
every time the SMART LAP DISTANCE is marked. If you want to use this PATH of WAYPOINTS in
the NAVIGATION mode, you will need to TURN OFF the LAP > WAYPOINT before NAVIGATION.
INDIVIDUAL WAYPOINT (via watch):
In NAVIGATION mode, PRESS & HOLD LAP / RESET to record a WAYPOINT.
A prompt will appear in the display to confirm the waypoint was recorded.
WAYPOINT (via PC Software):
- Run the New Balance 900 GPS PC Software, then CLICK on the PATH tab and enter the PATH
MANAGER.
- Select the PATH (highlight) that you want to modify / create and review the MAP. Zoom in / out
and move around as needed. Once the MAP displays your desired PATH / WAYPOINT area, you
can add waypoints.
- LEFT CLICK one time to mark the first WAYPOINT (a green marker will appear on screen). If you
need to move the marker, CLICK & HOLD the marker a drag to the desired position. To rename
the WAYPOINT, double-click the green marker until the name prompt appears on screen. Type
in the name (only the first 10 characters will display on the watch).
- Continue to create WAYPOINTS until your PATH is complete (99 waypoint maximum), then
CLICK ‘SAVE PATH.’ This will save the PATH to the PC Software.
- To save the path to the watch, attach the watch via charging cable to the computer, then CLICK
on the PC > WATCH icon. The prompt will let you know once the data transfer is complete.
Select / Delete a PATH
To select a PATH for NAVIGATION:
- PRESS & HOLD MODE to enter the Setting Sequence.
- PRESS ST / STP or LAP / RESET to select NAVIGATION, then PRESS VIEW.
- PRESS ST / STP or LAP / RESET to select SELECT PATH, then PRESS VIEW.
- PRESS ST / STP or LAP / RESET to select the desired PATH, then PRESS VIEW.
The prompt (DONE!) will appear in the display to confirm the selection.
To delete a PATH:
- PRESS ST / STP or LAP / RESET to select DELETE PATH, then PRESS VIEW.
- PRESS ST / STP or LAP / RESET to select the desired PATH, then PRESS VIEW.
The prompt (DONE!) will appear in the display to confirm the selection.
NOTE: All of the WAYPOINTS recorded for the DELETED PATH will be deleted permanently.
NOTE: Paths can also be deleted via PC Software.
Using Navigation Mode
- Record WAYPOINTS / PATH
(per earlier instruction)
and make sure that the
GPS has an active signal.
- Select a PATH and a
NAVIGATION MODE STYLE
(per earlier instruction).
*NOTE: If ‘NO WAYPOINT’ appears
in place of the ACTIVE WAYPOINT
DIRECTIONAL ARROW, this either
means that the GPS is searching
for a signal or no waypoints have
been recorded.
GoTo Location
WAYPOINT > FORWARD > BACKWARD
- PRESS MODE until you enter NAVIGATION mode.
- PRESS VIEW to toggle into WAYPOINT VIEW.
NOTE: The PATH that you selected will
display in the middle of the screen.

will beep 3 times. The KEY TONE setting must be turned ON for
the audible alert to work.
NOTE: To ensure accuracy, make sure the watch is level
when reviewing any directional information.
NOTE: PRESS VIEW to toggle between the NAVIGATION and WAYPOINT
screens to view the GoTo Location information (speed, time/distance remaining
until destination is reached, date/time that the waypoint was created and
waypoint coordinates).

What is a Waypoint?
The New Balance 900 GPS can store a specific set of coordinates known as a WAYPOINT. A
waypoint is a location that you store on your watch that you might want to return to later (i.e.
HOME, CAR, CAMPSITE,
FAVORITE VISTA, etc). You can edit WAYPOINT names via the PC Software.
NOTE: Waypoints will only be available if the GPS is turned on and satellites have been acquired.
What is a Path?
A PATH is a collection of linked waypoints. The New Balance 900 GPS allows you to record a total
of 10 different PATHS (each with a maximum of 99 WAYPOINTS). Paths can be created by the LAP
> WP SMART LAP option (above) or created via MAP on the PC Software. You can also edit PATH
names via the PC Software.
NOTE: Paths will only be available if the GPS is turned on and satellites have been acquired.
Setting Track Log Intervals
The New Balance 900 GPS constantly records your track log to provide accurate navigation, speed,
distance, pace and heart rate data. To better facilitate your needs, the New Balance 900 GPS allows
you to determine how often the watch will ‘sample’ data for recording.
NOTE: The sample rate is directly related to the data storage capacity, so be aware of the memory
remaining when you set your sample rate.
- From the WORKOUT setting, PRESS ST / STP or LAP / RESET to select TRACK LOG, then
PRESS VIEW.
- PRESS ST / STP or LAP / RESET to set the interval (sample rate), then
PRESS MODE to return to the WORKOUT setting sequence.
