the arrows, go to Create a new track , and press Select . Enter the name of the new track using
arrows and Select . Press Menu when the name is complete.
Now, physically go to the starting point of the race. On the main screen, make sure you have a
good GPS signal (4 or more satellites, less than 5.00 EHPE). Go into the menu system, go to Track
Options, and using the arrows go to
Set start point . Press Select . You will now choose the track
using the arrows (if you only have one point-to-point track in the GPX, it will be shown with no
left or right arrow showing). Press
Select on that track. Make sure you are at the starting point,
and press Select. After a few seconds, the GPS information will be recorded, and it will return to
the menu system.
Do the same procedure for the finish of the race by going to Set finish point and following the
same steps.
Do the same if you want to enter any split points for the race. Please note that you do not have to
set the start point before you set the finish point – you may define the start/finish/split points in
any convenient order.
Notice that on the menus, a check mark is displayed next to each point which you have defined:
To start the race, go into the menu system, go to Select
a track to start race, and select the track.
There are two methods to start a point-to-point race -- Standing start and Running start . Use
standing start when a race starter starts you. (For standing start, the "start point" of the race is not
actually used -- it assumes you are starting from the correct spot.) For a standing start, the
accelerometers must "zero" themselves, which takes a few seconds when you select the track to
start the race. Zeroing of the accelerometers allows the GPX to determine the precise instant
when you start your motion and starts timing from that point in time.
If you choose "running start", then you must approach the start point going at least 5 mph. When
you pass the start point, the timing of the race starts, and the "spinner screen" displays.
To start a point-to-point race, first position yourself to start the race. Then, from the main screen
press
Menu and go to Select a track to start a race . Press Select . Pick the track name, press Select
