Hi @JasonDC2020
You can turn off GPS for individual exercise modes so it won't even waste time and battery trying to connect.
I show how to do this in my video here (I linked to the part where I show switching GPS on/off; you can back up to 4:13 to see how I got to that section): https://youtu.be/vsnhs3JyH8M?t=314
Hope that helps!
