Hi
I really like my GW60!
I also have a Fenix for general fitness training & want to use it for logging windsurf sessions hr etc & as a GPS back up.
what are the best GPS/watch settings for GPS speedsurfing?
Galileo or Glassnos?
Any advice for downloading GPS data to GPSAR?
Thanks!

hi,
Fenix does both , you just need to activate Glonass in the settings
also make sure you select 1sec interval recording

you may download any app from the garmin store or create your own data field on the watch, I'm a lazy bast.. so I use "ap pro sail", very cool free windsurfing app and it's aussie made !!!
no idea how/if gpsar accepts .fit files, someone here with more knowledge will be able to help.

If you go through Garmin Connect click on your post, go to the top right hand corner, you can convert your fit file to gpx file.
