Turn By Turn

Hello, I am contacting you regarding a route tracking issue on my Fenix ​​8. I am unable to activate turn notifications and other navigation prompts. Only the route appears in pink on the map, without detailed guidance. I have noticed that other users are experiencing the same issue. Is this a known bug? If so, is a fix planned soon? This feature is essential for a watch in this price range, and I would like to know what solutions you can offer me. Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards, Pierrick.

    The watch requires a file containing turn-by-turn directions. They are not included in a GPX from somewhere.

    Simply save the GPX track in Garmin Connect and then send it from there to the watch.

    Then it should work.

    I will add that you may need to turn navigation on from the course settings in the activity menu, before starting the activity.

    Hello Pierrick,

    Could you please provide some additional details to help me better understand the issue?

    • Type of activity: Which activity are you using route tracking for (running, hiking, cycling, etc.)?
    • Route creation: How was the route generated? Did you use watch, Garmin Connect, import a GPX file, or create it through another platform?
    • Routing settings: What routing settings are currently selected? 
    • Navigation settings: Have you enabled Routing and Guidance Alerts in the route settings?

    Looking forward to your response.
