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!

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!

Thanks for the tutorial Dave ! I have noticed an annoying issue with course navigation (i use an instinct solar). If you start a course, but then somewhere along the way stop navigation and restart it, the watch will try to direct you only to the starting point. Even if you are on the course - and moving in the correct direction, you cannot see your saved waypoints anymore. This is a major flaw if you are running a race, relying on e.g. aid-station waypoints and accidentally stop navigation. Is this also the case in other models (Fenix etc.)? To be clear - you can still navigate using the breadcrumb line when this happens. Thanks in advance.

The 935 is limited to 4 data fields unfortunately.

Great video. Is this still the case all this time later or is there a way of syncing via GC and turning off turn by turn? Additionally i have used the FIT option which works but it says i am 10km from my first waypoint that i have created and im 60 miles away as im not on the course yet?

The manual method is still the best in my opinion. When you sync via the app it creates course waypoints for every turn which isn't desirable for my situation. Hope that helps.

Great Video! But does it work with the normal Garmin Fenix 6 (Not the Pro/Saphire/X etc) ? The link you put in description leads to the Fenix 6 Pro and not the Standard 6. Thanks! 🙏🏼

This process applies to both. However on the Non-Pro you won't get the full map, just a breadcrumb trail of your course. Hope that helps!
