Indoor Activities
The Venu Sq device can be used for training indoors, such as
running on an indoor track or using a stationary bike or indoor
trainer. GPS is turned off for indoor activities (Activities and App
Settings, page 16).
When running or walking with GPS turned off, speed, distance,
and cadence are calculated using the accelerometer in the
device. The accelerometer is self-calibrating. The accuracy of
the speed, distance, and cadence data improves after a few
outdoor runs or walks using GPS.
TIP: Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces accuracy.
You can use an optional foot pod to record pace, distance, and
cadence.
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.
