Vibration alerts about custom course points (cue sheets)

Former Member over 5 years ago

Does the watch notify by vibration or another feelable way about custom course points (cue sheets) during the navigation?

I have created a new route using `plotaroute` tool and cleared up all auto-generated TBT instructions. I have added my own course points in critical places (~20m before turns to be alerted earlier).
During the navigation, I see turn arrows for my points on the screen, but the watch doesn't vibrate on them and I need to more often look at my watch to don't miss a turn. Shouldn't the watch notify me of all points?

For routes with auto-generated TBT course points, the vibration (and turn arrows) works as expected.

I have set 'follow course' in my routing settings and my watch is Fenix 5 plus.

Thanks

i can't really remember, but it should or did vibrate / tone just before the turn (per the cue sheet). But I've not sued this featured for a while so maybe the new FW has issues or etc I won't know.

I can confirm it does.

The watch vibrates and notifies about every custom point.

The previous time I think, it was something with my watch itself. Before the last test, I just restarted my watch and this seems to have solved my problem.
