Hello,
Can you help me with this option? What should I do activate it? How can I do it? Do I need some predefined course to use it?
Thanks for your help

Navigating a route is a requirement for NextFork
Yes, I have seen this statement in the Data field appendix. But it is a misprint. The function certainly works independently of navigation…

You have to add the Data Field to a Data Screen. You can also add it to your map screen, you just have to change the layout. The NextFork Data Field can be found under Navigation Fields.

It's literally just an added aid to know what's coming up... So say your using a course and navigating... and next fork is 0.2 miles away... But your not making that turn or fork, your course says next…
Thanks for your answers.
I know now that I do not need a course to use it BUT I still do not understand how to activate it...
Datafield with NextFork? I can't see such a datafield on my watch... 
And apart from that - how can I use it on the map screen?
Any other suggestions...?

BTW: Navigating a route is a requirement for NextFork. It says so in the manual.

Yes, I have seen this statement in the Data field appendix. But it is a misprint. The function certainly works independently of navigation. The screenshots below show the Next Fork data field inset on the right side of the map screen. I'm recording a walk activity without any navigation. As I approach the next street (Tiller CT.), the Next Fork data field gives me the distance to the street crossing. This works the same on named trails.
