Automobile routing question

Hi all... 

I'm going to have a Fenix 6x for Christmas...(fingers crossed) and would like some information about car and motorcycle routing.... these routing options are available on my Fenix 5x plus...(the inbuilt maps route in a straight line using car or motorbike routing unfortunately these days ) ....but I can route myself anywhere in my home country using my watch in conjunction with Frikart maps......

Do you have the option on the Fenix Pro series for car and motorcycle navigation?...

All the best...

    Yes, but the preinstalled TopoActive maps are not made for car/motorcycle routing. You always only get a direct line routing. You need a different/additional map like a Garmin CN NT street map or a routable Garmin Topo map or even some osm maps are able to do it (works with all named maps even on a 5x+).

    Thanks Volker for your reply, that's great news...It's nice to know I still have the option for using these routing options with other maps on the 6 Pro series .... Frikart works well for me in the UK for routing with car and motorbike,so hopefully it will be the same.

    Thanks for your advice as always : -)
