Fenix vs. Enduro 2 Navigation

Currently pondering between buying the Fenix 7 or Enduro 2. The Enduro 2 would have as plus, that the Software has extended navigation features as compared to the Fenix.

Downside: It's a little bit too large for me.

Were there any hints if the enhanced Navigation Features of the Enduro 2 will also be backported to the Fenix line?

  • Got the Fenix 7s now with the software. But when navigating, it doesnt show me the next fork. Any ideas how to activate it?

  • It's a Data Fields, so you need to add it to the activity

    Next Fork : The distance to the next fork on a trail. You must be navigating for this data to appear.

  • Already tried that. The only data field I can overlay over the map are speed and distance or a combination of them. What am I missing?

  • What software version are you on?
