Thank you for posting this! I was having SO MUCH TROUBLE figuring out how to actually find the course on my watch once I created it. there are so many videos about how to create a course, and this was the first one I could find that actually shows you the very crucial step 2: how to find the dang course on your device once you've created it, so THANK YOU!

@@moodytang5187 Yup, I saved it as a .FIT file and dropped it to my 945 through a PC. It was a bit more complicated than I would've liked bc I typically work on Macs. In the end, it worked. With this file, I knew exactly when the next aide station was coming up as I competed in the Pikes Peak marathon in 2021. I didn't need to know when a turn was coming up bc the course is well marked and simple, so the typical Garmin instructions were worthless. This helped me drop 25minutes over the previous year. **If you ever decide to use a feature like this for a race, or even something like PacePro, always test it out EXTENSIVELY days or weeks before the event. That way it performs as you intend to use it and aren't distracted by unexpected oddities/alerts the watch throws at you** I plan to use PacePro for CIM next year to run sub 2:18. I'll count on many sessions of trial and error in the through out the year leading up to the race so the feature works exactly the way I want it to. Thanks for all your reviews @ChasetheSummit

Tutorials are helpful because it encourages the user to get the full potential of having a feature rich sports watch. I think another good tutorial would be how to use swapping between screens while running or any other sport. As a new user it often becomes trial and error how to get to function as quick as posible, during a run preparing for a run or whatever sport the user is into

Thanks for the helpful video. I've been using the Fenix 6X Pro Sapphire for 9 months now, and it drives me nuts that the "Next Waypoint" and "Distance to Next" data elements never work. When I'm out hiking in the White Mountains, I often want to plot a waypoint on the summit of several mountains that I've doing as part of a plotted course. As you noted, the data elements for those custom waypoints get screwed up when transferring wirelessly from Garmin Connect. I will definitely give this FIT file option a try on the hike I have coming up this weekend. Thanks for the tip!

@ChaseTheSummit 4 жыл бұрын

Yup! This was exactly my issue. Instead of showing the next actual waypoint it would indicate the next turn. White Mountains are also my stomping grounds! Thanks for watching!

Thanks :) I learned a couple new tricks. I personally like using the "Send to Device" button on Garmin Connect, and then syncing using the WIFI sync. I have setup a quick action sync button so I don't need to physically connect the phone to the computer. I have also turned off bluetooth sync to save battery life (I get 30 days watch mode and 60hrs gps mode without bluetooth).

@ChaseTheSummit 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! "Send to Device" is MUCH easier to use. But as noted in the video it included turn-by-turn directions which buries my important course points so I prefer the USB method.

@ChaseTheSummit 2 жыл бұрын

It was available at the time but had issues. As mentioned in the video there was an issue using “send to device” as it would turn every turn into a waypoint. So if you use the data field “distance to next” or “next waypoint” it would show the next turn and not the actual next waypoint. This drove me nuts at ultramarathons because I wanted to see how far aid stations were. By using the USB transfer method it somehow fixes this issue 🤷‍♂️ thanks for watching!

Really useful. The process and loops you have to go through does seem a little clunky (particularly as someone from a cycling background, where syncing with something like Komoot is so quick and easy) - feel like the technology on watches still has some catching up to do before it's as simple and seamless as I'd expect in 2022!

I think you can just save a course (after creating it) to your favourites then, when you synch you add a course from your favourites or by name.

I have a 245M. Might be way I saved the points. But as you say, complex.

You can design a course in Garmin Connect and sync it to the watch. The watch will show you a breadcrumb map which is basically just a line with an arrow representing where you are on it. If you wander too far off the line it will alert you that it's off course.

I love the video, Dave! Where did you get your "data field" screen that shows 6 fields? I can't find that option anywhere in Garmin IQ; is it only on the Fenix or can the Forerunner 935 get it too? :) (the data screen I'm talking about is at 8:52 in the video) Thanks!

The 935 is limited to 4 data fields unfortunately.

Still hoping there is a simple way to upload navigation for specific waypoints. Like u did. Will try this.

@ChaseTheSummit 2 жыл бұрын

The simpleist way is to create your course in Garmin Connect and sync wirelessly but you'll run into the turn-by-turn limitations I mentioned in this video unless you use the USB method.

Does the watch tell us to turn left or right turn over Bluetooth speakers? coz when I am on the bike or run I don't want to look at my watch all the time.

@ChaseTheSummit 2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately no, it will buzz and give you an arrow indicator on which way to go but there's no voice guidance.

Great Video, thank you! One thing I can't find is how to mark segments. I love to see how long it takes me to hit certain points on my favourite routes, while still having auto km laps on. I have switched from the Suunto 9, where you just pushed the lap button and it gave you time from start. On the Fenix 6, it gives from the last auto lap. As an example, from my house I do a 1.5ish km warm up to the trail head. I want to hit the lap button at that point, then start. Next I want to hit again at the summit to see how long it took me, then again at the bottom. I know I can do this by turning off the auto lap, but I want to see those km splits!! Or on a road tempo run. Warm up, then tempo, then cool down. I want the 3 segments, but also need that km feedback. Hope this makes sense. Thank you!

I think you could do this using Strava segments and Live Segments on the Garmin?

You can add a waypoint if you wanted a marker to indicate a road or a trail but there's no way to customize the actual road or trail names. Hope that helps!

Do you have to do this by cable transfer? Can't Garmin connect send it via bluetooth to the watch?

@ChaseTheSummit 3 жыл бұрын

It's changed a bit since I posted this video. You can actually create and sync a course right from your phone now. However, syncing over a cable does give you a couple of advantages. For whatever reason the "distance to next" metric when sync'd from your phone shows the distance to the next TURN while when sync'd over cable it shows the distance to your next waypoint which I find more valuable since I'm usually interested in how far I am from an aid station or summit or whatever. Hope that helps!

Great Video. Keep up the great work. Feedback to the tutorial video would be the tv screen to fit into the video resolution. Otherwise 👍👍. Could you also make a video on how to delete unwanted maps from the fenix 6? Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! Could you elaborate on that a bit? Do you mean recording 4k on the computer display to match the video resolution? Sure! I'll add that to my list!

I think the only way to remove it is to not follow a course with a goal time/pace. You could also try toggling the "heading bug" setting in the nav settings?
