Auto Laps perform two functions: 1) they alert you at a specified distance or position, and 2) they create a lap in your activity at a specified distance or position, and begin a new lap on your device.
Requirements
Distance-based auto laps are available in all outdoor and indoor bike modes. Position-based auto laps are available in outdoor bike modes only.
During structured workouts, Auto Laps are disabled. The "Lap" function is reserved for moving you from one interval (like a Sprint) to the next (like a Rest).
How to Set Up Auto Laps
From the home screen on DURA and DURA 2 SOLAR, select your desired bike mode, then scroll down to Auto Lap. Choose from one of the options below and toggle Auto Lap ON.
- By distance: A lap is recorded every time you cover a set distance. Useful for any session where you want to review regular distance intervals.
- By position: A lap is recorded when you return to a designated GPS location. Three options are available.
- Starting position: Every time you return to where the activity began, your device counts a lap. Suited for tracks, loop courses and circuits where you reach the starting point multiple times.
- Manual lap position: During your ride, press the Lap button to mark a specific location. Every time you return to that GPS location during the activity, your device counts a lap automatically. Useful when your lap point isn't the start, such as the beginning of a hill or the far end of a loop.
- Start + manual lap position: Both locations trigger lap counting. Any time you pass through either the start point or the location where you manually triggered a lap, a new lap is recorded.
Distance Alerts
If you want to receive regular distance alerts without marking a lap, consider setting up a Distance Alert instead.
Distance Alerts prompt you with an on-screen reminder each time you cover your specified distance interval relative to the overall activity distance, and display your stats for the previous interval. For example, if you create a distance alert for every 10 kilometers, your device will alert you every 10 kilometers, without marking it as a lap in your activity.
During structured workouts, Distance Alerts work relative to your workout's lap / stage. If you set a 5 mile Distance Alert, it will nudge you every mile within that specific workout block. Crucially, it will still not trigger a lap, so it won't interfere with your workout's programmed steps.
How to set up: Open any bike mode on DURA / DURA 2 SOLAR, then scroll down to Activity Alerts. Select Distance Alert and customize the specific distance you want to receive alerts for.
FAQs
Any upcoming Auto Laps will get "pushed" by each manual lap that you create. You will receive your Auto Lap alert when you reach the distance interval you have configured since the previous time a lap was triggered, including a manual lap.
For any ride recorded on your COROS watch, you have the ability to toggle between multiple lap views. One view is your activity laps (any auto or manual laps recorded during the actual activity, or if none were recorded, no laps will be shown here). Another view is 1 km, 5 km, or 10 km splits.
During structured workouts, Auto Laps are automatically disabled, since the workout structure takes precedence over other lap settings. There cannot be multiple "layers" of laps occurring during a workout.
