Training Indoors
You can turn off GPS when you are training indoors or to save
battery life. When running or walking with GPS turned off, speed
and distance are calculated using the accelerometer in the
device. The accelerometer is self-calibrating. The accuracy of
the speed and distance data improves after a few outdoor runs
using GPS.
When cycling with GPS turned off, speed and distance data are
not available unless you have an optional sensor that sends
speed and distance data to the device, such as a speed or
cadence sensor.

Calibrating the Treadmill Distance
To record more accurate distances for your treadmill runs, you
can calibrate the treadmill distance after you run at least 1.5 km
(1 mi.) on a treadmill. If you use different treadmills, you can
manually calibrate the treadmill distance on each treadmill or
after each run.
1
Start a treadmill activity (Starting an Activity, page 1), and run
at least 1.5 km (1 mi.) on the treadmill.
