How to Set the Devices and Console to Indoor or Outdoor Mode (GPSports)

What is Indoor and Outdoor Mode?

Indoor Mode - The data collected for analysis will be generated from inertial data only. Data displayed will be reliant on sensors in the device. Obtaining GPS lock is not possible when the Device is in Indoor mode.

Outdoor Mode - The data collected for analysis will be generated from both inertial data and GPS signals. In Outdoor mode, GPS metrics will be recorded and displayed.

Why change my devices to Indoor Mode?

Devices must be in the same mode as the GPSports Console in order to ensure data can be collected Live. If the Devices and Console are in Outdoor mode, and the Units are inside or do not have GPS lock, the Devices will not be detected by the Receiver.

Instructions on how to change the GPSports Console mode and the Device Mode are below.
