Super informative and simple (for Garmin users). Your hack for touchscreen 2 buttons shortcut is AMAZING 😍. Question. Would you know if Garmin will pick the course mid way through. I have loaded a 400km hike but will be doing it in a few stages. Will it pick the course each day or will it navigate to the start? Many thanks 🙏
@ukgpstraining Жыл бұрын
Thanks for your questions. Yes, you can join a course at any point i.e. midway. You will have to load the correct course at the start of each day. If you do want to get to grips with your watch ahead of what sounds like an exciting adventure please do sign up for the online resource, this has x 70 training video of how to use this watch.

Hi there, see the part in the courses - 8:36 on the video. What do the numbers underneath the tracks indicate?
@ukgpstraining18 күн бұрын
Hi thanks for your message , when I scroll down my course 8min 36 secs on the video I can see figures that relate to estimated time to complete in hours the courses, this information is embedded in the courses as these ones have come from actual recordings done by others and is a guide to how long they should take, I hope this helps.

New Fenix 7 owner here. Having a Navigation setting and a Navigate Activity is pretty confusing! Especially when they do pretty much the same thing. Am I correct in thinking that having a map as a data screen in the Navigate Activity, would only allow you to view a map, while using the Navigation feature from within your Navigate Activity would allow a map (pre-setup) that has a route/course for you to follow? What happens if you have setup your Navigate Activity with a map data screen, and also use the Navigation feature from within the Navigate Activity to use a pre-setup course to follow? Would there now be two map screens, or does one take precedence over the other? Does any of this have an effect on battery life? Thank you!

How do I switch activities. I am stuck in Walk and cannot figure out how to exit. Others also report this problem...
@ukgpstrainingАй бұрын
Hi Walter, you have to have added other activities to your watch first, if you tap the top right start stop button and then scroll down to the Green + add icon and select it, you then have a list of activities that you can add. Once you have added new activities i.e Run, Hike etc you should be able to choose these from the start stop button, we hope this helps, if you have purchased a watch from ourselves at GPS training we do offer 1 years email & telephone support from ourselves along with access to our own training videos. Kind regards GPS Training

In this video you are using both hands to operate the watch, but how do you operate the watch on your arm with both hands while hiking?

Whilst on your wrist you can operate it with x 1 hand as the watch is stable on your wrist. I hope this helps.

Sorry, struggling to understand what your problem is. You need to select 'trackback' when navigating back to the start. If you bought the watch from us or have one of our support packages please call out tech team - 01669 621044

Fantastic. You may have just saved me from buying an Apple watch. UK resident. I do a bit of hiking and have a Garmin handheld GPS(62 I think it is) that has OS Survey maps. So it's won't show OS footpaths on moors, hills etc? If I am correct, I can plan a route on Garmin connect. I can then send that route to my handheld Or the Garmin Fenix 7? I understand the watch won't have OS maps :-( But it will give me a line/trail to follow? (Like my old hand held Garmin) Why no UK OS maps on a Garmin watch? :-(
@ukgpstraining2 ай бұрын
Many thanks for your question, the problem with planning in Garmin Connect in the UK is the lack of OS maps, this video takes you through the planning process and navigational experience - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9l7ha2UtNXcYY0.htmlsi=8saUf-TP6m8S0mdj Or this vid - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbWDnJWVqqy7cX0.htmlsi=NYZAPsh2IOAUkJWv

Is it possible to record a hike with just a gpx route pre-loaded on the map but not actually using the "Navigate" option? Basically just recording a hike while having the gpx route displayed on the map just to glance at it every now and then to see if you're still on the right track?

Sadly not, only gpx routes (courses) that you are navigating show on the map page.
