Not showing total distance anymore? And viewing routes?

Former Member over 6 years ago

Since the last update,not 10, my watchface only displays step distance and not the total distance like it used too. It used to show the distance including my activities like cycling etc? Is there a way to get it back. I don't think it's a fault because my wife's watch is the same?

Also is there a way to just have a route showing on the map without actually having to navigate it? Like you can on the edge computers? This is very useful as navigation nearly halves the battery life.

with one of the later betas (and release) garmin decides without telling anybody, that the total distance should only take "foot based" distance into account. i used this value a lot, because i am more of a biker than a runner. this is really annoying.

oddly since a little more than one week the total distance in gamin connect online is as it has been before and bike distance is taken into account again. this is better than nothing, but people should know, that the total distance on the fenix is totally different from the distance in gamin connect online (at least, if one is a cyclist). very stupid.
