Maps and Navigation. New User help

Hello,

New to Garmin and I just got my 5x yesterday.

I seem to be having a problem with maps. I dont have any on my watch. When I do my activities it is just a blank white screen with a blue arrow on it. No roads or road names or anything.
Also when I go into Navigation, I have NO points of interest, "around me" or "use map" none of those settings that I have seen on youtube videos.

When I go into Navigation, after "coordinates" it is empty. No other options.

Am I doing something wrong here? Do I have a setting turned off somewhere?

Thanks all for the help.

    It's like you have the maps "off". Check that they are activated in:


    Menu> Settings> Activities and Applications> Activity (Career Example)> Career Settings> Map> Configure Maps> and that they are on

    No map available when I scroll through. There is a GPS setting but NO map setting.

    Also no map option when I go to "activities" only Navigation. And under Navigation NO points of interest, NO around me, none of that stuff.

    Yes you are right.

    The company sent me the wrong model

    They actually sent me a Fenix 5 with Sapphire glass, which is why I didnt think twice.

    Thanks for the help
