Polar Ignite 2 utilizes integrated GPS technology to track activities, providing accurate location data and speed/pace information. This GPS system supports assisted GPS (A-GPS) for faster satellite fix times and increased precision, especially useful when starting workouts in new locations.

The accuracy of GPS tracking can vary depending on several environmental factors. In open areas with a clear view of the sky, such as rural settings or large parks, the GPS performance is typically very good. However, in urban environments with tall buildings or in areas with dense tree cover, the signal may get obstructed, which can reduce the accuracy of the GPS data.
