Sport Profile Settings
Adjust the sport profile settings to best suit your training needs. In V800 you can edit certain sport profiles settings in Settings > Sport profiles. You can, for example, set the GPS on or off in different sports.
A wider range of customization options is available in the Flow web service. For more information, See "Sport Profiles"
There are seven sport profiles shown in the pre-training mode by default. In the Flow web service you can add new sports to your list, and sync them to your V800. You can have a maximum of 20 sports on your V800 at a time. The number of sport profiles in the Flow web service is not limited.
By default, in the Sport profiles you'll find:
- Running
- Cycling
- Swimming
- Other outdoor
- Other indoor
- Triathlon
- Free multisport
If you have edited your sport profiles in the Flow web service before your first training session,and synced them to your V800, the sport profile list will contain the edited sport profiles.
