STEP 3

Download Hoolan onto your Garmin watch

Click on the Connect IQ image above or alternatively go to the Connect IQ store app on your phone (if you don't have this installed, you can get to it via the Garmin Connect app), search for Hoolan and download. When you watch next synchs with Garmin Connect on your phone, the Hoolan app will automatically install.

STEP 4

Open up the Hoolan watch app and complete set up

The watch app will firstly check the tracking capabilities of your watch:
 

Fully compatible:

  • Tracks jump data + GPS speed and distance data

  • Accurate jump and GPS stats on your watch during your session


Partially compatible:

  • Tracks GPS speed and distance data

  • GPS stats on your watch during your session


Jump Calibration: If your watch model is able to track jumps you are prompted to calibrate your watch as part of set up. This is so that if you are unable to calibrate just before your session (recommended for the most accurate measurements), you have a previous value that we can use as a backup. If you do not want to track jumps you are able to skip calibration. Full jump calibration help.

NOTE: If you don't calibrate during set up and are unable to calibrate just before your session, then your jumps will not be recorded.

Check your settings

STEP 5

Check and adjust your settings on your Garmin Watch

  • ​Customise your Hoolan recording screen
    Set the statistics you’d like to see on your watch screen while you’re recording.
    Hoolan App Settings > Activity Settings > Activity type > Recording screen.
     

  • Set up your jump preferences and alerts
    If you want to track your jumps (and have a compatible watch), customise which activities you'd like jump detection to be activated for, and the height threshold for receiving alerts (vibration) on your watch. As a default, jump detection is 'ON' for all kite activities, except strapless kitefoiling and kite buggying, and 'OFF' for every other activity. Our alert default is for every jump above 1.5 m (our minimum height for jump tracking).
    Hoolan App Settings > Activity Settings > Activity type > Recording screen > Jumps & Alerts
     

  • Set your unit measurements
    On Metric, imperial or a mix of both. Nautical miles can be set on your phone.
    Garmin Watch Settings > System > Format > Units.
     

STEP 6

Let's go! Get recording your first session.
