Turn off satellite on start on Garmin 305? (Read 234 times)

I searched, I read the manual, but didn't see the answer, so...

Does anyone know if you can interrupt the start up search for satellite on your Garmin 305? Example, I just want to turn it on and see the time of my last run. I don't want to wait for it to search for a satellite, especially since I am inside. Is there a button to press to do this?

TIA!

I just got mine like 2 days ago, but if you press the mode button doesn't that do it?

I could be wrong.

I don't have my watch in front of me right now, but I think you do the following:

After turning the watch on, hold down the button on the lower left side. You should get a dialog that pops up allowing you to change the sport (Running/cycling/other) as well as switch between outdoors and indoor use.

Though I think you can look at history while the sat-search is going on by simply hitting the same button until you get out to the menu.

Yeah, the mode button, that's it!

I am an idiot. Had mine for months. Didn't even think to try that. I think I am so attached to it, that I was afraid of somehow breaking it. Thanks!!!!

nh, I'm glad you asked the question, because I was wondering the same thing! RA comes through again. Smile
