I noticed in the manual distance and current speed can be displayed. How is this done? I just bought one and downloaded the latest firmware.

Hello, If you press the Mode button until you get to the exercise mode. This is where you can press OK to begin logging an activity. Once you press ok you will begin to see your current distance and speed. With the virtual trainer you can set up pages so you can view specific stats like distance, speed, and time. Please let me know if this helped.

Hello,I just got a 1490T. Please excuse my ignorance, but I decided on that unit for the traffic feature as I commute over 35 miles each way. Thing is, I can't find a description anywhere that tells me what I need to do to have access to just the traffic info i.e. do I need to have the GPS active even when I don't need it - I know how to get to my office, for example. I'm a bit confused......Regards,Barry

Tavis, I'm looking for a similar solution - how did you do it in the end? did you use the 2.4ghz to get that kind of distance?

Is there some way to update the maps or firmware? How do we know we have the latest version? My wife's TomTom plugs into the USB port and downloads the updates automatically. I see nothing other than MIO transfer, which is not very intuitive or useful.

You need to use the VIRB Edit video editing program (free). Apparently their are also plug-ins for other video editing programs as well. the GPS data shows up as speed, elevation, location, ...

Hi MattI purchased a Motoactv golf edition GPS watch that source their GPS maps from skydroid as I understand.I play golf frequently both in USA and Canada. My Motoactv shows very accurate distances as well as the proper par for each hole in all course in the USA.However, in all Canada or courses in other countries, ALL holes will be displayed as par fours, no exception.Though the distances to greens and hazards etc. are still accurate.I called Motorola support and they cannot rectify the situation for me.Any suggestions you can make ?I have the most recent update from Motorola for all maps, device as well as computer updates.Thanks for your help !Hubert Hi MattI purchased a Motoactv golf edition GPS watch that source their GPS maps from skydroid as I understand.I play golf frequently both in USA and Canada.

Thanks man, for the comment. Can't figure this device out. Seems to work backwards, but works !

you must purchase a separate speed sensor,then it will show speed,not included in package

Well, it is the updated model...with the features mentioned, plus speed limits for major roads and an indication if you are exceeding it. The maps aren't up to date (at least on mine ordered in Oct. 2012) If you have a memory card that fits the unit you can upload new maps. I had to buy one. I found that (once I had the memory card) the first download of maps took less than an hour when I used the 800 number--unlike the 4 to 5 hours mentioned on line. (I had registered the GPS online.)

You cable sync to the website as usual, when you start the app, it grabs the data off the website. So you can review past performance, but not current. And only overview same as Console, but not the details. And no, there is no Bluetooth transmission from the non-BW unit to tap into. Nor anyway to enable it. Unless the chipset/radio is in there to do it, and someone found a program hack for enabling it. And of course past performance is no indicator of future performance - oh wait, wrong topic.

No, none of the five I have purchased can do that. Though you never know when they might update the firmware and include that ability in the next version. If you happen to need a user's manual, I have included one at the end of my review. Rick S.

Hey,My understanding is that the base speed is 1.33 Ghz with the ability to go to 1.86 Ghz (like a turbo) when needed. I think this is done to save or provide better battery life without affecting performance. My also displays 1.33 Ghz.Grim

Unknown. Mine is also...reviews prior to my purchase several years ago lamented this as well as it not displaying in mph.Engineering guess is an error in the algorithm...do not know what this says about any location accuracy, but then I didn't get it for that.

It can show Current, lap average, or average pace during the run buy only one of the three. At the end of each lap it displays lap time/pace briefly. you get all of the stats at the end but during the run you only get one of the three. (the original firmware just had current pace so you may get conflicting answers.)

The radio no longer shows the Firmware version directly on the radio by using key combinations while turning it on. I have the latest nightly build of CHIRP and that doesn't display it either. --- If you have any specific ways to identify it, I will be happy to help.
