Hi, this weekend i went for little city trip to Keulen (Germany) with some friends. I saved a waypoint of the location of our hotel on my 5X. At some point we walked back to our hotel and i started the "navigate" app on my watch to go to a "saved location". My navigate-settings are: activity>pedestrian, follow course and minimize time, no avoidances.
My fenix said it would take 45 minutes to walk back, while google maps said it would only take 30 minutes. During the walk my fenix tried to direct me to all kinds of streets that weren't exactly the most efficient ones. What happened here? is it maybe because i had the settings on "follow course instead of use map?
