GPS Multi-bandes
Thanks to a constant recalculation of the position by the watch on the 2 frequencies of each multi-band compatible GNSS network, this technology allows for the identification and effective elimination of poor positioning data, thus offering much higher accuracy, especially in canyons, cities, and challenging alpine environments.
