How useful are the voice commands for (navigation, hiking, paddling, skiing)...
The main reason why I'm considering voice command feature:
- When both hands are busy (paddling/sailing), I don't want to stop what I'm doing to press buttons.
- If I'm wearing gloves, I don't want to remove gloves, push buttons/screen, don gloves.
- I don't want to remember or navigate the menus (I don't now how complicated or deep the menus go). I also don't like wasting time during my activity navigating around the UI like I do on my phone app.
I don't have a watch, just my phone, so I have no idea how Garmin Fenix watches work. I've read the manual, but I can't determine how the UI or voice commands, or buttons/touch, actually are used.
Navigation:
Start/stop/pause navigation.
Record track.
Add place marker.
Add voice-to-text notes to: marker, track, navigation, trail, segment, etc.
Show map.
Switch between different map/information views for hiking, rivers, nautical (map, slope, elevation gain, distance, time, speed, ETA).
Water:
Show me tide info.
Common:
Show me weather (I saw this in the manual).
