NOTES - Needs internet via the Garmin Connect phone app. - Weather needs a recent weather sync, and refreshes about every 30 minutes in the background. - The radar uses GPS, and members appear on it only while they share their location. - The altitude and pressure graphs need a barometric sensor (not fitted on Vivoactive 5 and 6). - Shared data is visible only to your Crew, and only while you choose to share it. Together, even when you are apart.
