Direction while running a distance

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hello.

Please help me with my 6x

Is it possible to see in one of the data fields the direction of the next turn (with arrow) during my running (previously saved course)? It would be nice also permanently see what is the remaining distance to the next turn.

Something like this:

Thank you!!

You need to create and load a course. Look under Navigation in the owner's manual:

I think Former Member understands you need to be following a course to have navigation but is looking for a datafield which indicates how long it is till the next turn and in which direction that turn will be, like you can see at the bottom of the maps screen. I think that would be very handy, that way you can see other data like current speed or distance and know when the next turn is coming.
When biking the automated warnings are sometimes too late so I prefer switching to the maps view just before a turn.

Try the Distance to Next field.

Thanks, I'll look into this data field and the others under navigation!

Distane to next gives me the distance (fenix 6), but not the turn direction :(

There is a field that shows next waypoint name. It should show the next turn. So at the end to fields would be needed - name of the next want and distance to next waypoint.
