By trekking when I want to repeat a route that I have previously created with the watch, it doesn't give me turn by turn instructions.
It doesn't either give me turn by turn instructions when I download GPX routes and I add them to garmin connect.

I have the same issue. Turn by turn is not working. I have a lot experience with routes crate in Garmin connect and use the turn by turn. I switched from 6X+ to MK2i because i didn’t found difference.…
Just change your routing settings in the activity you are using to 'Use map".
It will work with any gpx file, but the basic condition is an installed map on the device. The watch will use your…

The GPX file has to contain the turn-by-turn instructions in order to work on the watch. The eaisest way to achieve it, is creating the course in Garmin Connect. You can also use 3rd part services that do include the turn-by-turn instructions (for example plotaroute.com)
The GPX file has instructions but the watch doesn't follow them. I want somebody from Garmin to tell me if the watch can give turn by turn instructions

If you want an official source, just open your User Manual - it is written for example here:
DESCENT MK2 OWNER'S MANUAL - Setting Navigation Alerts
Or simply create a course in Garmin Connect and test it.
I have already read all the manual and the turn by turn option is activated in the watch; but it doesn't work; it only indicates the final distance.
And did you already try creating the Course in Garmin Connect, as I advised?
Yes I did all possible ways
Can anybody confirm me if the turn by turn instructions work for the Garmin Descent MK2i? I have tried everything and it wouldn't work. It only shows the final distance. I have also updated it to the last version software 8.
There are two 'modes' of navigation in fenix.
'Follow course' when you know exactly where you want to go and what path to follow. You get a straight line between points, but your mapping site gives you a lot of points that follow all paths/roads.
'Use map' is more like a car gps in that you set specific points on places you would like to go to, but you want your device to choose how to get between the points.
It sounds like you have Navigation/Trekking app configured to 'Follow course', but would like to use 'Use map'. App settings-> Routing-> Courses-> Follow course/Use map.
I use a route created from garmin connect so it should include turn by turn instructions. I used it on my Fenix 6 and it works well. On MK2i, with the same route I have only the final distance. All settings are set the same between the two watches. Looks like we have the same issue. Did you solve it since?
I have the same issue. Turn by turn is not working. I have a lot experience with routes crate in Garmin connect and use the turn by turn. I switched from 6X+ to MK2i because i didn’t found difference. But the have a lot of differences. One of them is turn by turn is not working in no way. This is very bad news for me.
