DC-Rainmaker on Garmin

I'm not sure I follow your logic - you think Ray telling Garmin he thinks they should be releasing more reliable firmware has had the result of stopping them releasing firmware entirely?

How do you find navigation useless? (I am sure my use case is different from yours, but for me it was nailed on at the point in a 55k trail race where somebody had removed the direction markers for nearly a km...)

atm, it really looks so, we will see what happens during next month!

Hi McBadger, 

I've found import do add a comment that there is several types of navigation and that thanks to your tool, at least for me, navigating a .fit file track with course_points to be almost flawless. The exception being when you are off course for some time. When back to trail the watch doesn't resume the distances to the next course_points. Current solution is to restart the course when you visually see you are back in the trail.

I guess the problem is with non track based navigation type. I.g. when the watch has to build a route to navigate to a saved or searched location based on a given enabled map. Or even direct route to waypoint.

We should specify the type in order to isolate the problems.

My best regards,

Yup I agree. I don't think it helps bundling the whole 5 series together here, the 5x is a different beast from the 5 and 5s.

Navigation does not work since 12.x . Once the watch has been unplugged from a computer for a couple hours/days, it keeps reporting 0 distance to next waypoint

Navigation can be used in many different ways. I use it in follow course mode with loaded fit files with turn by turn course points in the prepared file.

No problem with that. All info is correctly showing up. At least there are one way of using navigation that works.
