If you should be lost, would someone be able to find you with the gps on this watch?

No. Does not give grids, lats, or longs. Battery only lasts for about four hours and is not a directional GPS. Distance, time, rate of travel, calories burned. Basically it would tell you that your slowly dying;-)
1080847
Yes, if you mail your watch to your loved ones so that they can download your last run onto Garmin Connect. No, not really. ;)
1080848
Absolutely not. This only tracks your mileage that your run. I has no map etc.

no, it does not display any gps position on screen; the screen can only tells you the distance and current speed, you have to download it to the computer to show the route you've went through. remember to update the watch often, if it goes couple days without update it will not function properly.

Yes. if you want someone to be able to track you as you run, you need to pair the Forerunner 220 with a smart phone running an app from Garmin.

Unfortunately, GPS in this model is not available! But you can connect it optionally

Yes it will , it takes time to locate the sattelite at first but then it's all easier to locate again in case u lose signal ... If u want something more professional for hiking and stuff , go for a more expensive one, and I preffer Garmin ;) i have this watch but Garmin are much better for GPS usage

I really haven't used the GPS on the Le Pan, I have GPS in my car. Sorry I'm not much help.

As long as you can connect with blue tooth it will provide GPS guidance for any program that uses GPS. If not google maps there are plenty of navigation apps that will.

The watch is junk. Get a Garmin and you'll likely be mure satisfied. The GPS would never pick up for me.

No, you need an external GPS adapter you can most likely find on amazon. Personally I woudnt get it, I don't see it working very well.

Thanks for telling me that. I haven't used the GPS much after that time. I think I need to read the manual when I have time. :)

Yes. I have one, but haven't used that feature. Good tracker with excellent battery life. Here is a quick reference I put together of commands to send to the tracker for different modes. The 2531 is my password for my tracker. Just substitute yours in there. best, Greg Quick Reference: Text: linklocate*2531 to get GPS location texted back. Press and hold B or C until red flashing stops to phone Lisa or Steve Press and hold SOS button until flashing stops to send SOS to ABC phone numbers. Text: checkphone*2531 to see which phones are tied to BC buttons. A is my cell. Text: monitor*2531 to listen to surrounding sounds. Falcon calls back to your cell #. Hang up when done. Alarms Text: setmove*2531 to get a text every 5 mins once the tracker starts moving Text: setspeed*2531*080 to get a text if the speed exceeds 80mph, or whatever. Every 5 mins checks speed and sends text only if speed exceeds the value. Text: setarea*2531*A22.670000N114.140000E*B22.680000N114.150000E with A being bottom left and B being top right of quadrant. Every 5 mins checks gps and sends text only if outside quadrant. Text cancelalarm*2531 to cancel all the above Alarms. If you are considering paying $339 for the tracker, that price surprises me. I bought mine on Amazon for $160 in May of 2014. Maybe they have quit making them?

can't answer that question but don't think these are the best gps watch for the price. when they run out of power they reset the date and take a while to find satellites. another option is choosing an older model garmin like a forerunner 405, I had one for 5 years and bought my son the same last year, much more reliable

It does work. I found the connection with it is somewhat spotty. Better of getting a gps watch

Thanks a lot. It's helpful but I already bought it. I want it for trekking and have never owned a GPS of any sort before so I suspect I'm in for a lesson or two! i guess I'll return it if it doesn't measure up.

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.

The watch works on a satellite signal. Depending on trails, I would say if you don't get cell phone reception this will not have a signal either which might be cumbersome.
