The Approach S60 device can be used for training indoors, such 

as running on an indoor track or using a stationary bike. GPS is 

turned off for indoor activities.
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 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).
