Routing Settings - difference between "Follow Course" and "Use Map"

Former Member over 7 years ago

Hi

What is the difference between "Follow Course" and "Use Map" routing settings?

- Menu > Settings > Activities & Apps > select activity > select the activity settings > select Routing

I bought the 5X the other day, as well as Topo maps.. and will be using it for hiking and trail running - which option would be best to use?

Thanks

The way I understand it is the Follow Course option will followed a course that you have uploaded and ignore the map , whereas Use Map will route you based on whatever roads are found on the currently activated mapset
