No turn notifications

During the running activity, no turn notification is displayed during the navigation (self-created route). Neither acoustic nor optical. That makes navigating almost senseless. Is there any workaround? Do you all have this problem?

Me too. It’s clear they released a beta software, low beta.

I ran this morning a trail run with a downloaded course and the navigation was ok (firmware 11.64), notified for Off course, On Course and turn on screen notifications. I am hearing on my bluetooth headphones the pace, but I it would be great to hear also the Off Course, On course and turn right in 300meters instead of checking the watch all time, is it possible that voice notifications include also the off/on course and turn left/right in xx meters Garmin-Laurie?

I experience the same issue with my new fenix8 and this is a major issue as I am doing custom/new routes on the regular due to a lot of travelling. When can we expect a fix for this issue?

Still the same issue here. Today I tried once more but the problem is still there.

Same on my fenix8 navigation path is displayed on map navigation data (ETA, etc ) are calculated, but no turn indicator ar display, or sound alert.

Second thing is why my position is on center map wen it wil be beter to see more map ahead then after my curent location ?

on fenix7 that works fine!!!

Also, when you choose a route an click on "go to" you will enter the next menu, where you can turn "routing" on or off, but you can also scroll down to activate TBT notifications, which obviously doesn't work yet. But scrolling down into the "route settings" only works with the buttons, not via touchscreen.

Hi,

My Fenix 8 43 software version is 11.68.

I saved a Position called "Home", then when I start a Bike activity from quite a nearby location, I scroll down to navigate -> select my saved position (menu waypoint/,../ ) => then "Go to" ... The screen then shows "calcul on going" but never gived me the route. The only information is a straigth line to my Home (usefull for birds ! :D), remaining distance and the red arrow that gives the approwimative orientation. Hopefully current beta version will solve that or I am missing something
