Step 2: Choose your map type – click “generic routable (new style)” Using Open Source Street Maps for use on a Garmin So, here we present step-by-step instructions. I have passed on the how-to steps to individuals along the way and wanted to share the information more broadly. It saved us lots of money since we didn’t have to purchase the maps from Garmin and the open source maps are updated more frequently.
We are forever indebted to him for showing us how to do this. A friend taught us how to download free maps to our GPS when we were in Mexico. These are used to calculation lood oxygen saturation, in the pulse oximeter feature.We use open source maps downloaded to our Garmin GPS. There are still two LEDs, but there are double the number of sites that analyse the reflected light, which should be very useful for error correction in the readings.ĭC Rainmaker also suggests the number of IR sites is doubled too. A look at the underside of the two watches shows the Venu 2’s most obvious changes. Garmin does not offer any documentation on the specifics here, but we can at least hope for better accuracy. The Garmin Venu has an Elevate 3 heart rate sensor, upgraded to the Elevate 4 in the Venu 2. Still, how much power can a little on-screen muscle map need? A new heart rate sensor The Venu 2 also has a new CPU and graphics processor, so the older watch may not actually be able to handle all the new features. Garmin could theoretically add these to the older Venu in some form, but it seems unlikely. These are HIIT on-watch sessions and guided workouts that offer a visualization of the muscle groups used. There are some nods to this in the few fitness tracking features added in this generation. The Venu series is home to Garmin’s more lifestyle-inflected but serious exercise trackers. It’s not something most Garmin users are likely to use too often. This asks you to hold still for a couple of minutes, to assess your breathing rate, stress and heart rate. There’s another minor addition you might file under non-exercise tracking too, Health Snapshot. This means you’ll get a sleep score, and be given sleep “insights” when you wear the Venu 2 in bed.
Garmin expands the use of Firstbeat software to cover sleep tracking too. It calculates your VO2 Max, and the ‘body battery’ stat designed to indicate when you might not be taking as much care of yourself as you should. The original Garmin Venu uses Firstbeat analytics for a bunch of things. Both are color OLEDs, and the size increase is here to avoid ending up with a bigger, possibly uglier-looking bezel. The Venu 2 has a 416 x 416 pixel 1.3-inch screen, to the Venu’s 1.2-inch 390 x 390 one. It lasts 10 days, or seven hours with GPS and music, still longer than the original Garmin Venu.Ī bigger watch face comes with a slightly larger display.
