Is there a way to find nearby courses on the watch or do I have to use GCM to do so?

I would love to be able to show up at a trailhead and check my watch to see what courses are available vs having to always create one. Is this possible?

No. You need to look on GCM/GCinterweb beforehand and download the course.

You might be able to create a roundtrip course if the trails are routable.

I have this round trip course option on my 945, FW 2.50. I press start...run...up...round trip course

If it's anything like the Fenix 5x+, you can show up at the trailhead and -> Start -> Select Run

If the 945 is anything like the Fenix 5x+, you can show up at the trailhead and Press Start -> Run -> Press and hold mode -> Select Navigation -> Round-Trip Coarse -> Enter distance -> Select Direction. Then the watch will create 3 coarses with elevation profiles based on heat maps.

Very handy.

The 945 doesn’t have the ‘Round Trip Course’ option in that menu (FW 2.5) - I hope it’s an oversight like the ‘After Sunset’ option for backlight and comes back in a future FW

Yeah it does...

In your activity, go to the menu -> navigation -> Round-trip course

Ok, I now see it under Run and Bike but I live in the mountains and don’t see it where I was initially checking under Trail Run, MTB, or Hike (the activities for which you’d show up at a trailhead as I described)
