Thanks!

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 🙏

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.

Thanks for this video. Do you know if you can have the watch alert you if you take a wrong turn?

Yes it does, it notifies if you are 'off course'.

Yes you can connect it to your inReach, then you get your message notifications on your watch. You also get the option to send presets etc from your watch. I hope this helps.

In addition to this, can I record a track on the watch and sync it with Garmin Explore and save it as an "Activity" (in case I forget the InReach)?

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!

You have really nice map, could you please share what is the name of the map and your settings? In my Fenix 7 it looks not as good like on your device. Thank you.

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?

@ukgpstraining

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

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.

If doing cape wrath would you put in expidtion mode

You could put it in Expedition Mode, alternatively switch off the mutiband. I would look at carrying a lightweight power pack so you can charge it if you are off grid for multiple days.

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? :-(

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 - kzread.info/dash/bejne/e6d_tKycf9LeYbw.htmlsi=8saUf-TP6m8S0mdj Or this vid - kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYOHy5Sddam9caw.htmlsi=NYZAPsh2IOAUkJWv

I've been trying to navigate to a point using the map to select the point and it creates a route there no problem , but then It generates the route back to the start using a straight line as the crow flies is there some way to make it generate a path back?
