How to download maps in advance so you can display them even when the watch is off-line

How to import route data for display on a map during an activity measurement operation

Note

Your watch supports use of two types of maps: “Google Maps” and “Mapbox”. Only Mapbox map data can be downloaded for use.

Download Map

If you are planning to go to a location where there is no net access but you still want to use maps, you can download Mapbox maps ahead of time while you still have net access.

Important!

Except when you want to cancel a download operation, do not perform any watch operation until map downloading is complete. Performing an operation may stop the download.

Map data is dense, so use of a Wi-Fi connection is recommended.

Zoom levels are limited while a downloaded map is displayed. The smaller the area of the map you display in step 4 of the procedure below, the greater the detail that will be shown when you enlarge the map. In step 4, specifying the smallest map area you might possibly need is recommended.

The watch can have up to five Mapbox maps in watch memory at a time. If you attempt to download more map data while there are already five maps memory, a message will appear prompting you to delete existing downloaded map data. Delete map data you no longer need and try downloading the new data again.

  1. On the CASIO's APPS screen, tap “Map” to display a map.

  2. Tap the bottom of the screen. On the menu that appears, tap “Download Map”.

    3. This displays a map with your current location in the center.

  3. Scroll the map so the location that you want to be in the center of the map you download is in the center of the watch screen.

    4. You can use the APP button (lower button) to reduce the size of the map and increase the display area, and then scroll the map on the display. The area in circle in the center of the screen at this time shows the maximum downloadable area.

  4. Use the START button (upper button) and APP button (lower button) to zoom in and out the map so the area you want to download fills the screen.

    5. The area that is displayed at this time is the approximate area that will be downloaded.

  5. Tap “Fix”.

    6. This starts map downloading, with the download progress shown on the display. To cancel the download, tap Batsu.

    The downloaded map will appear on the display after download is complete.

Changing the Map Type

In an environment where network communication is available, you can perform the procedures in this section to download maps.

  1. On the CASIO's APPS screen, tap “Map” and display a map.

  2. Tap the bottom of the screen. On the menu that appears, tap the following items in sequence: “Map App” > “Map Type”.

    3. Each tap of “Map Type” toggles between “Google Maps” and “Mapbox”.

Note

Maps displayed while “Mapbox” is selected use geographic information from OpenStreetMap. OpenStreetMap geographic information can be freely edited by anyone, which means that information displayed on a map may not be correct.

Immediately following execution of a Download Map operation, the watch will automatically switch to “Mapbox”.

Import Route

Use the operations in this section to import route data saved in watch memory or external route data* saved on Google Drive, and display it as a reference route during an activity measurement operation. Imported routes are displayed as gray lines on the map during Activity measurement operations.

KML and GPX format files are supported. However, depending on how a file is created, format incompatibilities and import errors may occur.

Note

The watch has enough memory to store a single file of route data for display on a map. The imported route data currently in memory is overwritten if you import new route data.

To import route data from activity history and display it on a map

  1. On the CASIO's APPS screen, tap “Map” to display a map.

  2. Tap the bottom of the screen. On the menu that appears, tap the following items in sequence: “Import Route” > “History”.

    3. This displays the activity measurement history list of dates, times, and activity types.

  3. Tap the history record whose route data you want to import.

    4. This displays the map screen for the history record you tapped, with the route displayed on the map.

    To import the route data for this map record, go to step 4 of this procedure. If you want to view data for a different history record, swipe the screen from bottom to top. On the menu that appears, tap “Return to Date Selection”.

  4. Swipe the screen from bottom to top. On the menu that appears, tap “Import Route”> “Import” in sequence.

    5. This starts the import operation. The progress of the operation will be shown on the display. To cancel the import operation, tap Batsu.

    After importing is complete, the watch will display a map screen with the imported route data.

  5. To return from the map to the watch face display, press the power button.

To import route data to a map from Google Drive

    3. This displays the Google Account selection screen.

  3. Tap the name of the account you want to use.

    4. This will display the file selection screen, which lists the files and folders stored on Google Drive.

  4. Tap the KML file or GPX file you want to import.

    5. This displays the following confirmation message: “Browse this data?”. To return to the file selection screen here, tap “Cancel”.

  5. To import the file you tapped, tap “Import”.

    6. This starts the import operation. The progress of the operation will be shown on the display. To cancel the import operation, tap Batsu.

    After importing is complete, the watch will display a map screen with the imported route data.

  6. To return from the map to the watch face display, press the power button.

To show or hide route data

Note

By default, route data you import is displayed on the map. You can also hide the route data, if you want. Use “View Routes Display” to toggle between show and hide.

  1. On the CASIO's APPS screen, tap “Map” to display a map.

  2. Tap the bottom of the screen. On the menu that appears, tap the following items in sequence: “Settings” > “Map App” > “View Routes Display”.

    Even if you select “OFF”, the imported route data will remain in watch memory.
