Course navigation missing turn by turn navigation

If you start a course part of the way round, or are off-course for too long, the turn-by-turn navigation stops and only distance to end of course appears.

(It looks like this might be a long standing bug going back to the 645.)

This problem has existed since the watch's initial release. I noticed it first in June 2022.

Ik heb een forerunner 645 die altijd uitstekende stapsgewijze navigatie had. Maar sinds een update in november 2022 werkt helemaal niet meer.

No, I hadn't as I wasn't aware of this forum when I discovered it. I've not been in that situation since.

Is het probleem nu opgelost. En werkt turn by turn weer?

I don't know whether it's fixed. Since that time I've always been able to start the navigation before reaching the start point, and have never been far enough "off course" for it to get confused.

One thing that does occasionally happen with circular courses is that the "straight line" to the finish point is used instead of the direction to the start point, if you start navigation when you are closer to the finish than the start.
