Turn guidance worked properly until I upgraded to 27.14. The device knows the course I am on as I can see the route on the map but it does not show how far it is to the next turn or prompt me to make a turn. I have reset the device but that did not correct the issue.

    not sure if there is guidance on a course... there is if you do a "navigate to" but, afaik, not when you're just doing a course.

    Re-check that the "Turn Guidance" is still enabled in the Course List settings as a software update can often, annoyingly, change a few random settings. (and Guidance does work on both a loaded course and a navigate to a location but of course it has to be enabled. Check also the activity settings  for guide text and navigation prompt.

    Thanks. Turn guidance is still on. Guide text is set to “always display”. Not sure how to check navigation prompt.

    Thanks. Turn guidance is on. Guide text is always display. I don’t know about a navigation prompt - how do I check it?

    Menu / Activity Profile / (select a profile) / Navigation / Navigation Prompts

    And you have a GPS Lock?

    if Turn Guidance is enabled, you have a GPS Lock, there is an enabled routable map (check in Configure Maps) for the area then you should be seeing prompts etc.

    Try a navigate to location / dropped pin, just a few 100m along your current location, does that work (eliminates any issues with course). 

    Otherwise call Garmin support

    Fixed!  Thank you L Rouge for your help.  When I tried your suggestion of navigating to a point and that didn't work, I took a look at my maps and that was the problem area.  When I upgraded to 27.14, I somehow lost the US maps in the process.  The upgrade only loaded Middle America onto my device (so turn guidance would have worked if I was in Mexico!).  I just updated the device with the current US maps and turn navigation is working again.

    Fixed. Thank you L. Rouge for your help. When I tried your suggestion of navigating to a point and that didn’t work, I checked my maps and found the problem. Looking at my maps in Garmin Express, the US map was not loaded.  Somehow this happened when I upgraded to 27.14. I loaded the US maps to my device and turn navigation works again.
