Will this watch GPS be compatible to use in a different country?

Isabelle, I took this watch with me to Costa Rica and it worked there. I was a bit hesitant that it would work, but to my surprise it started to connect and was used during my runs alongside the beach. Hope this helped!

Yes, I bought in New York and I use most of the time in Brazil. It works perfect.

I think so, but I only downloaded the US. You should contact Garmin to make sure.

Yes, but I emphatically DO NOT RECOMMEND this GPS. The maps are not accurate and up to date. Steer clear of Magellan.

I don't know. What I can tell you is it takes forever to get the GPS (over 5 min ) I use the watch less and less.

I am not sure. I would say it would work but would not be very accurate. The watch basically runs off of a GPS system. If you are doing short distances versus long it may not be able to account for the small twist and turns. It sounds like you need technology that coincides with a step counter. I'm not saying you shouldn't try it. I'm just saying it may not be as accurate as you would like.

I did a little research, and came to the conclusion that it most likely will, on the basis that the watch connects with satellite to determine your distance. So, it wouldn't matter where you're at on the globe as long as it is able to make that connection. But with all GPS devices, it's reliability is determined by it's ability to get a good signal which can be hampered by cloudy days, or trying to get a GPS lock from indoors. As long as you are outdoors and it's relatively clear, it should work anywhere.

Yes. But if you want to be sure, go to the Garmin Web site and select your Garmin unit with the map to see if it is compatible.

Sorry not sure if you meant your unit is not recognized by your watch or?? . I have a Garmin 310XT and it recognized it right away.

Yes you may want to go through the compatible models list and find if your gps is there, but there are many models listed so I am assuming so

Not in the US. The European version has GPS, but the US version does not Joseph May Techtrackr.com

The watch itself won't be able to figure that. That would be up to the app that you have paired with it. If your app figures this information, is compatible with the watch, and offers a screen to display it, then it will. I know if you use the Wahoo Fitness app and a heart rate strap it will figure that information and display it for you.

Yes. The chronometer piece works without receiving satellite data nor accelerometer. Works even if the watch is stand still.

This is a global gps sysyem. So you would have to download your maps onto the gps. So yes it would work for any country.

Yes. I've use other Garmin GPSs in Africa, Australia, Europe, etc. The base map that comes on this GPS has a few roads in Asia, but you would want detailed maps for wherever you want to use it, including the US. You can buy these maps, or get free ones from OpenStreetMap.

The unit should work without a problem in India, as far as getting a GPS signal is concerned. Mine only came with maps of America, but iGO-format maps can be manually loaded onto it from a computer.
