The app's performance is closely linked to high-quality GPS tracking, which can be power-intensive.
We have drawn up a list of tips and good habits to adopt to extend your phone's battery life when using Decathlon Outdoor :
- First, download the outdoor route: Thanks to the app's "offline" feature, you can navigate the itinerary without an internet connection. We encourage you to therefore download them before leaving to save battery power.
- Turn on aeroplane mode: Thanks to the "offline" mode, you can put your phone in aeroplane mode and not worry about it. If you download the route beforehand, there is no need to be connected to an internet network to get navigation.
- Close the other apps: Try as much as you can to only use essential apps, and remember to close apps you are not using.
- Reduce brightness: Brightness uses up lots of power, so we recommend primarily using voice navigation to avoid reading the map. However, if you need to keep looking at your phone, remember to reduce your screen brightness, given its intensity plays a decisive role in your battery consumption.
If, despite these tips, you have issues with your battery consumption when using the app, do not hesitate to send us a request.
