Garmin Instinct 2 - Activity - Saving Waypoint

Hello everyone, I have a Garmin Instinct 2X Solar Tactical. How to save waypoint during an activity ? while running, hiking or riding motorcycle etc...Thank you.....

  • There are couple of options

    • Long press the GPS button, and then select "Save Location" (it won't be visible in Garmin Connect though, you'd need to use Garmin Explore to see the saved locations
    • You could also use the MOB (Man over Board) function on a Hot Key
    • If you want to see the location on the activity map in Garmin Connect, press the Lap button (if enabled), or tag the lap through the activity Pause menu. That's not a true waypoint, that you could navigate to, though
    • Instead of the lap, you can also start a new leg of a Multisport activity by using the function Change Sport. Starting points of each leg function like waypoints, and you can navigate back to them.
    • ... there may be some other options that I forgot
  • I ride my motorcycle yesterday, then I stop just to see the scenary around. I clicked my GPS button to stop my activity, then resume latter, it takes me back to the main watch face, after that I did long press to GPS button it appears "GPS is turned off. Turn on GPS on activity settings or change activity". Then I go to current activity settings, there's no option for turning on the GPS hempppp. should I change my activity or restart my activity just for save a waypoint ? hemppp. I have Garmin GPSmap 76csx, it records tracks and easy to save waypoint. hemppp...Thank you for the answers Mr. Trux....

  • You make it much more complicated than needed. Do not stop the activity. Simply long-press the GPS button while the activity is in progress.

  • Ohh okay okay Mr. Trux, I'll try it. Thank you GrinSlight smileOk handThumbsup
