MUDMASTER GG-B100 Location Indicator GPS: Explained!
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 07. 2024
- In this video I explain how to memory a location point through the Mudmaster GG-B100 and how to get directions back to that location point you just set earlier. Btw, you can use the watch without reaching for your smartphone when pressing those commands, but you need to have Bluetooth and data connection ON (you also don't need to keep the G-Shock app opened, because by default it runs in the background when it comes to bridging the GPS function). I hope this video helps you out!

Clean and simple. Nicely done. Thank you.
I bought this watch based on your full review...now I'm back finding out how to use it! Thanks sir 👍
Glad I could help! Enjoy the beast! Cheers
Excellent job explaining the concept , you broke in down made it easy to understand great job.
I was wondering how to use this function. The manual is a pain in the backside thank u so much for showing how it works and in simple form. Thank u and all the best
Thank you for the excellent tutorials on this and your other videos! I love my GG-B100!
Thank you Richard!
great!! thats the kind of information we need in youtube! just perfect man! simple and straight!
this function is one o those functions all the reviwers do not show.. maybe because its a bit complicated.. but you did it flwlessly! thanks again!
Nice video. Short and to the point! Love it!
Thank you for the best and most simple demonstration of this feature.
Very clear and concise. I just got one of these today.
Excellent very informative, I could not get mine to work, thinking the App was faulty until I learned from your video, thank you :-)
Great Explanation. I am about to buy a G-Shock, and this definitely was a big option for me
Superbe explication !!! Merci beaucoup !!
Great and helpful video dude👍🏻😊
3:56 “Pretty sick”!
Well said, Sir.
It is, indeed, quite sick!
Yeah.. I hear it. Why did he said that😂
I was wondering how that function on that watch worked, now I know, cheers.
Nice and simple! Thanks!
Great video, well presented and explained.
Thank you, I'm glad it helped!
Great video i tried it out today it it wored amazing!
nice explanation!! buying this one
Clever, let's hope Casio adds Bluetooth with this feature to all its compass equipped watches. It's great for hiking or finding a car in a large parking lot. Casio might also have a way one person could text their GPS location to someone else and the second person use a Casio watch to go to them.
Very helpful video. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Henry ! Pretty cool feature.
great vid, I just ordered this watch today. oh and I smashed the subscribe button
Awesome video mate!
Thanks mate!
Great, thanks!
Great to get back to your starting point. In the Alti mode you can start recording your hike. Can we do both functions at the same time, that is to record the starting point via the compass as in this video and the route via the alti?
Great and helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you.
Good video. Well made and cool.
Glad you liked it!
Nice one we'll done
Thanks for the short, to-the-point, instructional video! Will this function work in an area with no internet?
'I guess I'm lost' :D
Hi Henry. Thanks for the informative tutorial. Can the watch memorise multiple locations ?
Hi, unfortunately you can't. Though, Casio's software developers could solve this and update the firmware of the app with such a feature if they want to... It would be awesome to save different location points. Thank you for watching
After indicating the second point, do data connection and bluetooth on your phone need to stay on?
Very cool. How much does Bluetooth use affect overall battery life?
Dude instead of doing all that just use Google maps as you are bringing the phone anyway 😂😂
One question; can GGB100 operate standalone in order to set location, and then provide me directions home back to it? Sounds like I must use my smart phone. This is not ideal. Many times I have had my phone dead, when needing a feature like this.
Hi, I have a question. For the clock to notify me of a change in pressure, should I put it on info off?
Info on
fast temperature you set baro info to on and switch to temp. you can hold the hands still while the computer calculates the weather. takes about 5 mins.
Wow thank you so much for your help !!❤️
Thanks for the video. Where is the phone finder option? I haven't been able to find it...
Does this work if app not actually on ?
Hi. Nice video,but I'm still having troubles understanding this feature.
When I try to activate the mission log or to memorize - register a location it says "FAILED"
awesome
After you extend the time to 6 minutes, can you press it again to become 9 minutes, and even 12minutes
So I have to push every 6 minutes the compass button and starting again the app in my phone to go to my location? What if my location is 20 kilometers away and my phone died? This concept is dumb and will not work for hardcore hikers ...😣
What do you think?
In my opinion talking hardcore hikers compass is their true friend. The idea behind this was to give users fun watching their activities through their phone. E.g., all Garmin users buy Garmin bc they love to throw their activities and look over on their computers, but you have to recharge the watch often. G-Shock is a never die battery companion, badass in terms of looks what's so called bomb proof, and remains the simple classic Casio menu. Coming to GG-B100, location indicator will give you directions while you keep your phone on your pocket and not scratch it in the bushes as you are returning from the hike (plus save phone's battery). If battery dies, at least you know the bearing which you can follow. It is a great watch that can come handy in certain situations. I hope my answer wasn't too long, but helpful.
If that's what u r looking for than Casio has u covered with GPR-B1000, but you will have to pay the price for getting gps compass bluetooth alti/barometer thermometer and sunrise sunset with solar charging
Then buy the Rangeman GPR-B1000 (I just did a review on one and it is awesome!)
@@HenriUnzip Good answer
if we want mobile data for operating the feature, why should we rely on watch compass..we could have used google map...
Will it work indoor like your parking location in the basement of a mall for example?
If the GPS on your phone picks up the signal, then it will work.
Keep it straight on not off to the side!
Hye henry , Hye , i wanna to double chek with you bout compass , normally once we push compass button , the indicator will show to us direct to NORTH point , but in my watch , its was show the wrong direction , so I’m hold to 5 second at compass button , its just write NO DATA , what should i do ?
Alright I see. If you keep the watch flat and it still shows you wrong directions then what you should do is very easy. You have to calibrate its compass. First you press the compass button then hold the top left button until "set" starts flashing to enter the menu. There you will have to move your watch in a certain pattern which you find on the manual online. I'm sure this will resolve your issue.
i really need to try this feature.. had this watch for maybe 2 months now and still havent try all the features it offer
czcams.com/video/ltW4RmbH_mE/video.html G-Shock.
Hi, the direction doesn't really lead me to where I set the location. How can I fix this?
Excellent video.. but the point is if u have your mobile phone then simply open mape & go wherever you want to...
It would be better if it has inbulid GPS or simply anything by which it works without the help of mobile.
As i am a hiker/ motorcycle tourer, lots of times there is no mobile network...
So you still need your phone for it to work? Is there an lternative that works even if my phone dies mid trip?
Right. I'll think the Same....
You will need the phone for it to work. If your phone dies, all you can use is the compass, and other features. The best alternative is honestly navigation skills. If you have a compass and map and can shoot bearings, you’ll always be better off than relying on technology. It’s more of an extra tool in the bag as opposed to the sole thing you rely on.
A pencil, paper and compass is all you need.
Great job brother!
Question, can you have several destination points saved that you can then navigate to reach return point and avoid navigation as the crow flies?
Hi, no you can't, you can only save one and return back to it. It would be great if they add multiple location points to their app and so we could choose. Thanks for watching man
Try with its brother : GR-B200
If you own this watch, or any one else witch is connectable with *G-SHOCK CONNECTED* , enter in " *demo* " any model you want visualize, to navigate into their mode !
Try to see in demo these gems in *GRAVITY MASTER* section: *GPW-2000* , *GR-B100* , *GWR-200* but if you want two screens(analogic and digital), *GR-B200* (like i said in the first comment, which it's not exactly the brother of *GG-B100* which is the *MUDMASTER* model, but some functions are quite the same, with flight specifications in plus!
I have this watch, and I love it. However as I have a smartphone which has gps map app, why would I ever need this function? thanks.
Hi Emre, this function comes very handy for example when you are returning from a hike. Using your smartphone with sweaty hands, ain't the best option and as walking through rough terrains you will need those hands. While a durable watch like this, could really be the smart option and you are going to save up juice on your phone. (That's how I use it)
Is the gshock connect application still working now?
What symbol have you on left side due to searching saved location? On my watch stay letter “G” and not that what you have. Looks like small “rocket” :)
Hmm, who knows why that shows up different on yours. I checked on someone else's and just as mine had the "rocket" icon. However, important is to work, letter "G" sounds cool!
I figured out why today! when you're in 300 feet or closer of range to your target it shows a "g" when your farther it shows the rocket. :)
Hi, random question: Does the sensor in the GG-B100 contain mercury (for the thermometer and/or altimeter)? Thank you!
hi, awesome video. about the compass, if i dont press the button after 3 minutes, will it go to normal function (not showing direction)??
Yes, it will go back to normal watch function. Keep in mind that you can extend it to 6 min and that you don't need to pull out your phone anytime the 3 min is over, you just hold the compass button to hit it again (just make sure not to turn off the data connection on your mobile).
@@HenriUnzip thanks for your reply, ohh i thought that i can turn off the mobile data, because i have rangeman gpr b1000, they can transfer the gps from the phone to the watch, then i can turn off my phone and also the gps last forever in the watch. becaue it doesnt need any connection.
so its different.
Yes, that is different. You have an amazing huge watch, love it.
@@HenriUnzip hi henry, i think i wanna buy it. just curious about the compass, is it can show the direction the way which we wanna go? or it only can show the way to our previous location like you showed in the video?
i mean :
1. can i set a location in the G-Shock app like the gpr b1000? not manually set in the watch.
2. if i'm at "place A" and i want to go to "Place B" (about 200km from Place A), is it possible the compass can show the way & show the remaining distance?
Do you get what i meant ?? :D
I understand. This model only shows directions to our previous location point (just as in the video).
1: Through the G-Shock app you cannot set a location on the map and then to follow it, you do it only through the watch.. manually (though if G-Shock staff want, in a software update they can make this a reality).
2: As you can tell by now, the watch shows directions and distance to your last saved location point.
I really hope that G-Shock plays more with the software, it would be great.
So what happened after 6 minutes? What will you do if it will take more than 6 min to get back to your previous location?
If you saw in the video, you can extend it by another 3 minutes by pressing the middle right button.
Can you repeat the process with the new app? has many problems.
Do you need to pull out the phone to do all the commands, or can you just leave it in your pocket and do it all on the watch?
Yes, you have to pull out the phone at first. Without synchronizing the watch with the phone, you cannot "memory location" or "indicate location". But works in a snap, the app loads fast, you add a command and your phone goes back on the pocket.
HenryTech Thanks for the fast reply.. But I meant a scenario where the phone is already connected to the watch.. permanently. Then I arrive at a location that I want to pinpoint. Do I have to take out the already paired phone or could I just press the button on the watch and the phone in my pocket locks the location. Do you know what I mean?
Got it. Yes, you can leave your phone in your pocket once both devices are paired, and you can press commands using just the watch! Awesome right? I use this a lot.
@@HenriUnzip Totally. I want to use it for work and mountaineering this thing has just all the perfect gadgets. Thanks Buddy!
@@Billytheshit Problem is, in most Mountains where I go trekking, there's no cellphone connection. Guess, I'll have to get a Garmin.
I want to purchase but which color is nicer? Suggestion?
I really liked the orange one but with my line of work I went with the black model for fear of the orange getting stained.
@@rctruxbashing7420 thanks Bro,
Finally I brought the black colour..
So happy with it...
I like the green one because the golden botton looks good
I have the orange because I love the dark green+The carbon looks so good with it. All colors are still awsome though
So what happens after the 6 minutes is up? Do you loose that direction info? I dont know about you but it would take me longer than 6 mins to cover 800 metres ! Pretty shit really
If it worked without a phone it would be really neat, this way you just takeing an extra device for avsolutely no reason
Hello Sir I got this watch and try to ajust to my location point but always show me [FAILED] [POSITION] please tell me what is my mistake or is in my phone setings? thanks!
Hello, so I suppose you have paired the watch with your phone at first place. Anytime you want to save a location point make sure you have Bluetooth and internet turned on. Here's my guess, when you memory a location point while pressing for 5 sec the compass button you need to release the button after the two beeping sounds, not before (I'm telling this because there is people who got errors because of releasing the finger from the button too fast). And the other thing, while saving a location point, don't walk around, stay still in one place, otherwise it will read error. Hope this helps!
I got the reason ! reason is i try this function at home,when i go outside home everything work properly!
For ne it's keep doing the same problem. I have paired the watch, location and bluetooth turned on, I'm in the middle of a open air field and it's still failing on me. However the missionlog works flawlessly...
@@bobyg87 Did you find any solution to this ? I meet the same issue. thanks !
So what about for 30 minutes? Plz let me know. I also have orange color. But actually i never use it ..........
Great watch, looks fab. But Tbf these functions may work but most likely they're a gimmick hardly anyone will use.
What is useful they keep accurate time and the date on a nice looking watch.
Dude, you are so wrong on so many levels...but who am I to explain how this kind of watch is used and by who.
@@S80Retroboy80s You take words of my mouth
Does this work without using phone
The closest to having a quest marker from games except this is irl 😂😂
Hye henry , I’m just buy ist 2 day ago , i wanna to doubles chek with you , in my phone, its just show from the map my tracking route from my office to first destination, time round 10 am till 12 pm , when I’m going back round 12 something, I’m stay at office till 4 pm , after 4 pm i ride with my motorcycle till 10pm , but it’s didn’t show my route from 4 pm till 10 pm , why ?
Hi Nizam, you didn't mention the mission log. Next time try to do an activity by activating the mission log feature. I have done a video on that. Use it if you want to check the route, the distance, time travel and altitude. Let me know if it helps
Henri Unzip , means , once I’m connected via Bluetooth, i need to press Altitude button before start my journey , then its will start track my route , then once finish my route , again need to press Altitude butyon to stop its to record my track , is that true ?
YES, you got it right man!
Now , how to set up compass to show us the indicator point to NORTH , becouse now once I’m pres compass , its show me SOUTH direction, its was to weird , cozz any compass we use its , automatically will show us NORTH
How bout usingbit in the dark. Does light work when using functions. Mine dont on some. Like it stops the compass needle while light is on. Im hoping i didnt get a fake and its just bad design by casio
The light works without problems while using other functions. It doesn't affect functions you apply to the watch, nor it doesn't stop the compass or anything else.
@@HenriUnzip mine doesnt stop the functions but during compass the needle freezes while the light is on and goes back when light goes off.
Oh okay, that happens to mine as well, don't worry, it's just Casio.
@@HenriUnzip oh ok. Thanks. Kinda aggrevating but no th a deal breaker. Glad its not a fake.
So this function has to be used with a cellphone that has data connection?
Yes
Henri Unzip That just helps me made my decision to get a GWG1000.
I don't need the watch. I just remember the name of the street I started from! :))))
Loooool!
you know there are places that arent cities
Nice tutorial but give your dad his jacket back 🤣😅
Considering you need to use a phone necessarily this function turns silly: i would rather open Google maps, then. But watch looks solid.
Will this work out in the middle of nowhere where there is no phone signal?
No.
What if no internet connection?
Without internet connection you cannot set location points because the watch doesn't have built-in gps.
if we need data for the watch to indicate the position... why not use google maps?
After 3mins will my memory location be deleted?
Memory location doesn't get deleted. It can get replaced only when you memory a new location point.
Mine says "failed" every time. Also, if you have to use your phone whats the point?
Hi Robby, make sure you release the button at the right time (this seems a common solution for some) and make sure you have good connection. I myself take this watch for hikes or when I explore a city and I use the location indicator on the way back. I love it bc once the watch and the smartphone are connected you can leave your phone in the pocket and only use the watch to refresh the location. This will save tons of juice in your smartphone and won't have to deal with the map on your smartphone which melts the battery quickly. There's another reason, this watch is used also for military purposes, GPS watches are detectable and can reveal the location of a soldier's base, hence GPS watches are only ideal for sports' activities. For me it's a tool, hope it helps, cheers!
What happens if your in a dead zone?
Why can't you just use your smart phone map app to find your way back if you're lost?
if you needyoursmartphone, use the smartphone maps
Well brother, mine won't connect. Failed all the time. Idk how to fix it. Watch is good when connected to the phone, all features are good. Just won't do the location indicator for unknown reason.
What about whan you got multiple locations? How can your watch decide which location to indicate?
Mine says " failed " why ! Please help .
Hello, so make sure you have good data connection, Bluetooth enabled, open the G-Shock App, and then make sure to press and hold the compass button for as long as you hear the two beeping sounds (5 sec for location memory, 2 sec for location indicator). Hopefully it helps!
What i have to do after 3mins are over
Press again for 2 sec the compass button. It will start another 3 min for your directions.
I could be wrong on this, but from what I gather, the watch will only give you 9 total minutes to get back to the starting point?
I sent my watch back to the dealer I got it from because the GPS function never worked and it kept displaying "failed", then bought it again from another dealer and had to send that one back too because its gps was also not working, tried it on 3 different phones. I know the GPS function is quite useless anyway when you have a phone with a 4G and a gps but i paid SO MUCH MONEY AND I WANT IT TO WORK but it never worked, the compass was also off on the first watch, when you spin it slowly the arrow starts to point on a 90 degree different direction so you cant tell where north is ever.
This B100 is Mineral or Spherical Glass?
Uses both for dual layer protection.
@@HenriUnzip oic meaning able to prevent from scratch also?
@@devil_samuraix6176 To a certain degree yeah, but not as scratch resistant as sapphire glass.
@@HenriUnzip ic.. thanks for your info.
but in country side I don't have data connection :)
why is the GWG 1000 still more expensive than this newer version?
In my opinion bc of some added hardwares such as: sapphire crystal, atomic clock, tough solar, better lume, vibe resist, and since is bigger hence more material used. But in terms of software and functionality the GG B100 kills the GWG 1000.
But since GG B100 does not have tough solar.. A) how long does the battery last?.. B) Does it drain quickly?.. C) Does it take too long to replace the battery?
Says no data when I try to log.
Mine keeps saying failed no matter what i try
Bit like sensors on Aliens
If you need your phone as well, i might just use google maps??!
If you have a smart phone, why wouldn’t you just you the phone to find your way back. They do have gps and maps.
If ur on a long hike and lose service or phone dies. Its a backup.
@@07rayrod but you still need battery on your phone for it to work don't you??
@@07rayrod from what I was understanding it is dependent on the phones connection. its a gimmick
Or just use smartphone gps/map?
hmm need data whats the point then ,just use maps
Almost the perfect watch. I go to the woods to leave my smartphone behind.
