FEATURES
GPS
The V650 has built-in GPS that provides accurate speed and distance measurement, and allows you to see
your route on map in the Flow web service after your session. V650 includes the following GPS features:
l
Distance: Gives you accurate distance during and after your session.
l
Speed: Accurate speed information during and after your session.
l
Back to start: Directs you to your starting point in the shortest distance possible and shows the dis-
tance to your starting point. Now you can check out more adventurous routes and explore them safely,
knowing that your V650 can take you back to where you started.
l
Route: A line-drawing of your route that indicates your current position and starting location.
BAROMETER
V650 measures altitude with an atmospheric air pressure sensor and converts the measured air pressure into
an altitude reading. This is the most accurate way to measure altitude and altitude changes (ascent / des-
cent).
The barometer features include:
l
Altitude, ascent and descent
l
Inclinometer
l
Real time VAM (mean ascent velocity)
l
Altitude-compensated calories
To make sure that the altitude remains accurate, it needs to be calibrated whenever a reliable reference, such
as a peak or a topographic map, is available or when at sea level. Pressure variations due to weather con-
ditions or indoor air-conditioning may affect altitude readings.
SPORT PROFILES
V650 has three profiles for cycling (and one profile for other sports). You can define specific settings for each
one of them. For example, you can customize each profile with up to six different training views, to see the
information you really want.
