Available data fields include, but are not limited to: speed, distance, ride time, total odometer, altitude, gradient, calories consumed, lap count, heart rate (with ANT+ sensor), and cadence (with ANT+ sensor). Please note that the arrangement of data fields across the three display pages is fixed and cannot be customized by the user.

4.3. Registrazione di un giro

After acquiring a GPS signal, press the Pulsante sinistro to start recording your ride. The device will track your route, speed, distance, and other selected metrics. To pause or stop recording, press the Pulsante sinistro again. You can resume a paused ride or save the completed ride from the options presented on the screen.
