How to get started with a Garmin GPS watch

Updated

Follow these instructions to use a Garmin GPS watch with the LITPro-GPS Lap Timer App. Garmin GPS watches are compatible with both iOS and Android.

 

1. Download the LITPro - GPS Lap Timer App from the App Store or Google Play

2. Create a LITPro Account and Link It With Garmin Connect

  • Open the LITPro-GPS Lap Timer App 
  • Create a new account (or login into an existing)
  • Tap the Account Icon at the bottom right corner of the screen
  • Tap Link Garmin Account
  • A web browser will open
  • Tap Link Garmin Connect Account
  • Follow Garmin's instructions on the screen to approve data access
  • At the end of this process, you'll receive confirmation the accounts have been successfully linked

3. Your First Session

  • Select an activity type that has active GPS (set to record at 1-sec interval)
    • Popular choices include
      • Mountain Biking
      • Riding
      • Cycling
      • Motorcycling
      • Downhill Biking
      • Running
      • Driving General

NOTE: Do not use the default "Motocross" activity type provided by Garmin.  Due to reasons beyond our control, data tracked using this activity profile will not be shared with LITPro and your laps will be permanently lost.  An easy work-around is to create a custom motocross activity type.

  • Start recording on your GPS watch
  • Head to the track and complete your session

4. Sync and Review

  • When you finish your session and return to the pits, stop the recording on your watch
  • Sync your GPS watch with the Garmin Connect App
  • When the sync is complete, open the LITPro App to apply a track configuration and review your session
