Great video! Most people just talk about the features without the real-world demonstration. Videos like this are so much more useful. Thanks!

I did not know that Garmin can do this. Most people just show off all the bells and whistles of some smart watches. This is a really useful feature that is well explained. Glad KZfaq recommended this video and channel.

Hi. Great video. Which data screen you use for showing 8 fields? Is it custom? Which one? Thx!

@HowToPM 2 жыл бұрын

Hi David. You will find the 8 fields screen on the bigger model like Fenix 6X or 7X and the tactix to. Basically just because you need a bigger screen to show more data. ;)

IMHO this feature only makes sense in woods/etc without known paths, at least not known to Garmin. Or, if the point I want to go to has no features that I can identify on the map. In that cases: great! Other than that I would always mark the point on the map and let the system guide me...

Is there a way to change the default setting for the range on Sight and go? (50 miles or 80 kilometers) I use this feature a lot trekking unmarked terrain but never EVER have had the need to go 50 miles

@HowToPM 3 ай бұрын

I don't think it's possible. The tool is not made to reach an objective but to follow a line.

@harding3113 Жыл бұрын

I haven't tried this in the real world yet (I just got my watch) and I was wondering if the watch "knows" that you've passed your destination point you referenced? If not, then it's great for a straight line, but not so much for an actual location, right?

@HowToPM Жыл бұрын

Sight and go do not let you set a distance. It alow you to create a straight line. So you point what you see in distance, and then you walk untilf you reach it.

Instead of Sight and Go, is there a means to follow via breadcrumbs, to return to the very spot you started from as you walked along the lake? Lets assume you were lost and it was dark and storm, does the device provide a compass and permits you to return from your breadcrumbs? Thank you

@HowToPM 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Darrian. Yes of course. That option is called ''track Back''. And at any moment when you move you got a red line that is drawing on the map. You can use it as breadcrumbs.

@darrinfrench9018 2 жыл бұрын

@@HowToPM instead of following a small red line to track, doesn't the watch have a mode you observe a compass instead? I ask because I have the Montana Garmin which does exactly that. While walking it is much easier to observe a large compass and its needle rather than a small red mark expecially in daylight. Is the display readable in direct sunlight ?

You didn't give details on how to point the watch. So does the angle of the watch change the target distance?

@HowToPM Жыл бұрын

Distance will always be very high. It should be the max distance you could see from a high point. The idea is that if you follow the line, you will eventually reach the point.

Imagine you are in a city and aim for a church you see far away in altitude. Just aim it, and try to stay as much possible on the straight line from a street to an other. You will eventually reach the church.

@ButchCassidyAndSundanceKid 10 ай бұрын

How do you set the projected distance i.e. dist rem ?

@HowToPM 10 ай бұрын

You can't. Distance is set by distance you could see at horizon from altitude. The idea is just to follow a line to eventually reach a point at an unknown distance. If you reach the end of the distance, you surely pass it.

I have a Forerunner 945 and it has the same feature. I never knew how this feature works but I don't think it works how you demonstrate it, sorry. I think this feature is gimmick. I have no clue in what angle you should point the watch and that is the point. What if I point it too low? Will it pick a point 40 meters in front of me? No. If I shoot too high? Imagine there was no route that direction in your example. You'd never reach you target. It showed 80 kilometers and you just walked knowing there'd be a trail. You were off track compared to the watch's straight line suggestion. So the watch did not navigate you, you navigated the watch. Don't get me wrong, the video is ok but it doesn't explain this feature. My problem is how do you know

@jj987987987 Жыл бұрын

The fuck your talking about? Just because the live says it’s 80 km long doesn’t mean he got that distance by pointing at a object. It just shoots an azimuth and you will be able to know where that azimuth is at all times so you can navigate off course to get around obstacles and still being able to find your way.
