Hi group,
Is there a possibility on a Fenix 5X load routes with warnings, as in the Edge series?

Describe what you mean by warnings.
It does. TBT.
But it is not an easy task to create the
appropriate .fit file.
For short routes you can use Garmin
Connect for it but it is a P.I.A.
Besides the own Garmin Connect route creator you can use ridewithgps, gpsies our any other site or app that allows you to create a cue sheet with course_points (not waypoints) in a .tcx file.
Than you…

Hello TrippyZ, when I say warnings, I mean putting a mark on the track and that the GPS notifies you when you approach it and provides you with information such as distance to the point, estimated time of arrival, etc ... On edge devices It is easy to do and very useful.
In my Fenix 5 I can't find a way to do it, if it shows me those points on the map (as a waypoint) but I can't do anything with them on a data screen.
Hello Marcossaad, with Garmin Connect I am not able to work on the Fenix 5. The same route, on my edge 1000 if it shows me the warnings, but on the fenix 5 it does not.
Besides the own Garmin Connect route creator you can use ridewithgps, gpsies our any other site or app that allows you to create a cue sheet with course_points (not waypoints) in a .tcx file.
Than you convert it to a .fit file using TCX2FIT app from MacBadger and save that file in the NEWFILES folder of your Garmin.

Nowadays it is quite easy to create your route at plotaroute.com in web browser (computer or mobile) and download it on your mobile directly to watch with any of the CIQ-tools (Gimporter, Grouteloader or IQmapReceiver). McBadger has developed plotaroutes fit file exporter to...
With Grouteloader CIQ widget you can also download your route from Garmin Connect by the web address number. Then you only get the specific waypoint/coursepoints/tbt that you manually added. If you download it with GC app, you also get a lot of automate created tbt's.
Create your course on Garmin Connect and it will give you TurnByTurn and waypoints. Works fine on my Fenix 5.
Hi marcossaad,
I will prove it to you. Where I can find the TCX2FIT app, in a simple google search it doesn't appear.
Thank you
Hi phoglund,
I will try the websites that you indicate. I'm not looking for a turn by turn route, the fenix 5 is only capable of displaying 50 directions, and that doesn't work on very long routes.I want only the indications that I choose to be displayed.
thank you
Hello Trippyz,
Indeed with garmin connect I can create turn by turn routes, but that is not what I am looking for. The Feniz 5X is only capable of reproducing 50 warnings, and many more are generated on a long route.I want only the warnings that I create manually on the route to be displayed.
Thank you
That limit is for TBT not for waypoints. Add waypoints to Garmin Connect course and you will get 50 TBT plus all your Waypoints.
