Custom map courses with Garmin

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Here’s a guide to creating a custom course on a map and then using a Garmin device like the Fenix 6 to see your route and get turn by turn alerts. There tons of features I don’t begin to address, but I’m making this to help a new user get started with this very useful navigation tool. Whether you’re on a new trail, an unmaintained trail, off trail, or are running or hiking at night or in a complicated city, I think this feature can give very useful information about where you are, your terrain, the remaining distance, and when to expect intersections.

    I don't have this watch yet. The way you multi-tapped with your finger I found it very helpful to know what button you were pushing. Great video.

    Does the turn by turn read aloud if you have on headphones? Or do you constantly have to look at your watch to see when the next turn is coming up. I would never hear a beep, cause I always have my headphones playing music.

    Do you know how to change the colour of the part of a course that I've yet to complete? I can see what I've already done because it's a red line but on my watch, the course ahead is light blue which is almost impossible to see. Surely this must be changable?

    Hi can you please help, I am trying to create a course using the app and if I place one of the little black circles in the wrong place but have since placed more and don't want to use the undo, how can I remove it? Many thanks!!

    Brilliant. Very easy to follow. But I have a problem . When creating a trail and I come to a bridge or an unmarked footpath when putting the waypoints in it will not go over the bridge but it goes around. Which is no good. Have you come across this and how do I fix it. Hope this makes sense. ATB Peter

    Does the watch need to be connected to your mobile phone in order to provide turn by turn navigation or does it work similar to the Garmin Edge devices where you don't need a phone/4G signal?

    Hi, My fenix 6 keeps recalculating my custom courses, where I will be following the large directional arrow, the arrow will reverse to say I am then going the wrong way. I also noticed that parts of my custom course were way off compared to the actual paths themselves. What could be going wrong? Thanks.
