It's calculated from triangulation of satellite's radio signals. 60 cx is excellent gps for mtb or dirtbiking. Saved tracks are created either automatically once the active track becomes too large or manually by the user from the keypad. Saved tracks are 'compressed' by the unit to have under 500 trackpoints and have neither elevation nor timestamps and have fewer stored trackpoints. Optionally, the unit may write tracks to the removable SD memory card as GPX files. These files are immune from the compression of saved tracks so they always have timestamps and alttudes.
