    • EST PWR: Surface Area: This is your surface frontal area, while on the cycle.  There are several  websites to calculate Cycling Surface Area, Search “cycling surface area”.   typical values are 0.3 – 0.65 meters squared. Default 0.6
    • Calculate Power Always:  Set TRUE/ON, if no cadence sensor or if you want the power to be calculated always.  Default FALSE/OFF.

Safe Alert (SMS Text / Email)

RunSafe+ and BikeSafe+ have SafeAlert* Technology to send a Text Message and an Email to someone who can help in an emergency.  The App will send messages after 3 minutes (180 seconds) of motionless (not moving) activity.  This function works for Outdoor Run/walks GPS Enabled ONLY.   *The use of a Mobile Phone with internet and the Garmin Connect App (Google  or iTunes) is required for this feature to send safe alert messages.  Only can send text messages to devices that accept SMS text devices, (I.e. Cellular Phone).

Text Message Alert fields

Recipient’s Phone Number (##########) Enter the send to: phone number.  Use country/area code if necessary in your area.  Numbers Only (no dashes ‘-‘).

Recipient’s Mobile SMS Carrier Gateway Enter the gateway address as @gateway.com.   For Example, Verizon users, use @vtext.com.

Email Message Alert

Your Email: or Second Alert Email: Must be valid.
Sent Recipient Message: Custom message to be sent to Recipient. Enter up to 36 Characters.
To test: Start RunSafe or BikeSafe app and with Garmin Connect Mobile App is running on phone and paired to the watch.  Device is connected, if the “b” or “B” is shown as below. After 90 seconds without moving(still), the app screen will change to:

Press the lap button to cancel alert.  After another 90 seconds, with countdown. The app will send a message to a server that will relay the messages to the Phone Number/SMS Gateway and email to the email recipient(s).

AutoLap by Position

How the Autolap by position works, at the the Activity Start, the app remembers the start location, every time you pass the start location the App will Autolap.
If you press the Manual Lap, a second lap by location will be used. And every time you pass the Start Location and the Manual Lap location, the App will AutoLap.
The auto lap function uses a the default 25 meter radius(40m diameter) circle, once you enter the Autolap circle the app will Autolap when you start to move away from the GPS Lap Location.  If your missing laps use the larger radius in configuration.

Consider the picture below, the yellow dot is the GPS Autolap location.  The Green arrows is the direction traveling.  Once you enter the circle, the app will auto lap.  In this case it will lap as you cross the Yellow dot(at the redline).

If you entered the 25m radius circle and turned around (at the Blue Arrow) and leave the circle the App will Autolap at the Red Dot

How your laps will look

Few suggestions,

1.) The app needs a good GPS lock, wait until the GPS is GREEN.
2.) Set Data Recording to every second.  This is located in the watch, under the main menu, Settings>System>Data Recording> set to every second.
