Runners experiences using maps?

Not particularly, as I arranged my main screen to be one button push away from the map, plus I have two data fields on the map screen for distance and pace. Works well for me

What I did do for me was buy the Basecamp Satellite Imagery as running trails, very often there's little on the topo maps!

You are correct.  Using a map while running is somewhat fruitless.  Routing a course works well since you get a beep/buzz for an upcoming turn.  The map is useful if you are really lost, but I have to stop to read it.

Ah cool, didn’t realise you could have data fields on the map screen

You can have one or two, and they sit on the bottom of the screem :)

But no audible beeps through headphones when listening to music i guess? 

So just hope you feel the vibration of the watch. 

Still, pretty good for my needs i think. 

Don't know sorry, dont use headphones :)

There is a distinctive tone that does come through the headphones to indicate an upcoming turn.  

Amazing! 

And last question... does the map automatically zoom in/out when coming up to junctions in busy locations etc? 

So when running in a city map is zoomed in but when you reach a less busy area it zooms out maybe? 

Sounds great anyway. I’m sold! 

No autozoom as I know, but I dont miss it.
