Issues with Address Navigation in Garmin Explore after Update

4844857 1 month ago

Hello! I’m using the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro for city navigation. Previously, it was very convenient to input addresses directly via the Garmin Explore app, but after the recent update, this option has disappeared. Now, I can’t create a route to a specific address.

Could anyone please help with the following:

Does anyone know why Garmin removed this feature and if it will be restored in the future?
What alternatives are available to continue using the watch for city navigation? Has anyone found a workaround using other apps or services to input addresses?

Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions!

Changing to Kingfisher St and Search this area (just to give the benefit of the doubt:

it finds: somewhere in Oklahoma.

which while technically shows that the search does work, surprises me that of the whole globe, this is the only result.

so yes. I’d say search is broken

One workaround cound be copying gps coordinates from google maps and pasting them in garmin explore, then taking navigate option.

But it’s really annoying after this update that the seraching doesnt work properly

Download the version 3.12 and wait until they fix the problem for a new version.
