GPS yes, it maps run etc, you turn it on when you hit run then choice is given indoor or outdoor, chose outdoor

pickyme · Answer

GPS information is contained on the phone but can be viewed on the synched tool like phone or tablet but the tracker saves it internally so you don't have to have a phone etc with you to record a run etc

It means that it could record your locations on its own without the need to bring your phone. You cannot bring up a map, you can view the run later once you upload the data through your mobile or PC. Some other brand only have assisted GPS which requires a mobile phone to be connected to capture locations while you run. The GPS features need to be turned on when you want to do your activity, it consumes more battery then.

It simply means that it has a GPS built in to the unit. Yes it would work like map my fitness, and yes you can bring up the map online and track all your activity through Garmin Connect. All you have to do is press the button to start it and it almost instantly finds a signal and your off and walking/running.

Yes, the vívosmart + will map your activities like runs. This is not a function that you have to turn on before using.
