Notes
Note 1
This information is only precise enough on watches with barometric altimeter as altitude information cannot be derived precisely from GPS.
For further details, please click here.
Note 2
Information is only precise if you have a Garmin device with barometric altimeter. Especially if relative altitude information is derived from GPS,
then it will not be very precise due to the physical limitations of GPS as described here. For further details, please click here.
Note 3
The EPIX watch does not support the Garmin SDK >= 1.2.6. Thus it is not possible for an app to access the heart rate profiles. Therefore the
heart rate zones are derived from the maximum heart rate configured by the user.
Note 4
Temperature sensor support in Garmin apps is only possible if either an ANT+ TEMPE sensor is available or the device itself has an internal temperature sensor.
The ANT+ TEMPE has higher priority as the internal sensor.
