We continue to investigate this issue, but do not have a solution. As a temporary workaround, the watch will update distance if you are able to sync with Garmin Connect Mobile, Garmin Express, or plug…

I now have a 5x Plus so I no longer have this issue. However, syncing my 5x with Garmin Connect mobile did not work, nor did plugging it into a power source. The only workaround that did work was plugging…

This seems to confirm previous reports we've had on this and other threads:

1. Fenix 5x Plus used to have this bug during beta phase, but it was fixed before release version. Somehow the fix isn't…

i updated -> restarted the watch -> went into maps -> have chosen a point on the map -> navigated to it -> IT WORKED!!! :-)

I did not remove my watch from my mac pro properly

I just ejected my fenix 5x properly from my mac pro and the navigation works presently

I will see if it works when I turn my watch off later

if 14.73 fixed this problem, then why did I have the same problem 4 months ago and also today with version 20.00? https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/fenix-5-series/217335/software-problems-fenix-5x

Hello Garmin-Heath,

I use a Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar since May last year, now running on firmware 13.22, and I am still (June 2023) having the same issue! This is really so disappointing.

I mainly use it for sailing navigation and sail racing ("racing" app) and create the course with the explorer app or the watch itself. However I created the courses (in German "Strecke") - distance to next waypoint is zero and also time to waypoint not working.

What is up with you?

Regards

Michael
