Garmin tactix Charlie Features Explained

Jumpmaster - The jumpmaster feature follows military guidelines for calculating the high altitude release point (HARP). The tactix Charlie smartwatch automatically detects when you have jumped to begin navigating toward the desired impact point (DIP) using the barometer and electronic compass. The jumpmaster feature allows you to set the jump type to one of three types: HAHO, HALO, or Static.

Waypoint Projection - You can create a new location by projecting the distance and bearing from your current location to a new location.

Night Vision Mode - You can enable night vision mode to reduce backlight intensity for compatibility with night vision goggles.

ABC Sensors - displays combined altimeter, barometer, and compass information.

Wrist-based Heart Rate - The tactix Charlie device has a wrist-based heart rate monitor and is also compatible with Garmin chest heart rate monitors (sold separately). You can view heart rate data on the heart rate widget. If both wrist-based heart rate and chest heart rate data are available, the tactix Charlie uses the chest heart rate data.

Turn-by-Turn Navigation - Follow a route or course with help from turn-by-turn directions, which let you know ahead of time when the next turn is coming.
