1. Overview
The most accurate and reliable solution for the iPhone, MotionX-GPS embeds the
functionality of an advanced handheld GPS unit into a simple and intuitive iPhone
application. Use MotionX-GPS to track outdoor activities such as hiking, running,
biking, sailing, skiing, or any other activity where you want to track your route. It is
also ideal for geocaching and for sharing the coordinates of your favorite locations.
GPS requires a direct “line-of-sight” to communicate with satellites. Your iPhone must
have a clear view of the sky to locate at least three satellites in order to give accurate
position information. If you are indoors, in a wooded area or surrounded by buildings,
you may be unable to acquire an accurate signal.

4. Record Track (continued)
Heart Rate:
Track your heart rate from MotionX using a ANT+ or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) chest
strap heart rate sensor.
ANT+
To setup an ANT+ heart rate monitor, wear the chest strap and connect the ANT+ receiver (dongle or
case) to your iPhone. Select Manage Sensor>Connect. Once connected, your heart rate will display on
the setup page and in the track recorder.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
Newer Bluetooth Low Energy heart rate monitors are supported on the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 only as
BLE requires a specific Bluetooth chipset found only in these devices. No receiver dongle or case is
required and there is no need to pair the BLE HR monitor with your iPhone first. To set up, be sure
Bluetooth is turned on from iPhone Settings>General. Wear the chest strap, then from MotionX-GPS
select Menu>Setup>Heart Rate Sensor>Manage Sensor>Connect.

1 Live Map Updates Setup:
• Edit your display name so your friends can identify you (default is “MotionX User”)
• Define a 5-digit channel. Share your channel with friends who want to see your location
• Define an interval for broadcasting your location (ranging from 30sec to 10min). Your friends’
latest known locations are updated at the interval they have selected.
• Select a radius within which you would like to display your friends’ locations
• Select a time interval to display your friends’ last known position updates. Choosing 12 hours,
for example, will allow you to see their last position for 12 hours after their last update.
• Share your channel selection with friends via email
• TapTap® a friend’s location sign on the Map to view the time of their last location update

Track Types
A solid red line represents your path while recording a track with the
Track Recorder. Use the "Start Track", "Pause Track" and "Save Track"
controls on the Record Track page to record and save your track. (In
MotionX-GPS v18.0 and above you may change the color of your recorded
track)
A dotted red line represents an interpolated path between two points
when signal has been lost while the Track Recorder was running.
A solid blue line traces your path when a GPS signal is active and the
Track Recorder is not in use. In the event that you forgot to start the
Track Recorder, you can save these blue tracks to the Logbook. Select
Realtime Track > Save in the Options menu on the Map page. All blue
tracks will be combined into a single track and saved.
A dotted blue line represents an interpolated path between two points
when signal has been lost and the Track Recorder was not running.
A dashed green line from the arrow indicates the path to the waypoint
you have chosen as your destination using the Go To or Start Nav
buttons.
A dashed orange line represents a previously recorded track that is being
followed. A green start flag indicates the start of the track and a
checkered end flag indicates the end.
