message NO GPS DATA and you cannot enter Vertical Mode.

Chronograph Mode example
Recently you heard that a training method for long distance
runners called the run/walk method can help increase your
overall endurance and burn more calories. This method calls for
running for a period of time followed by a short period of walking.
You decide to use Chronograph Mode to help you try this method.
You press START/SPLIT when you begin running and then after
10 minutes of running you press START/SPLIT again and walk
for 2 minutes. You continue using these two sequences until you
have completed a 60 minute run/walk.
