Navigation re-routing

Grumpy Old Man over 2 years ago

Hi :-)

I downloaded a gpx file and went for a run. I got off route and got lost.

Any settings that will lead me back on route in such situations?

Only tell you are off route and you have to back until the say you are on route again. But if you look at the map and see an interception point with your route you can go and when you get there the watch…

Maybe, but as I understand it, this watch is supposed to do re-calculation/re-routing. I just don't know how to make it work :-/

Thanks....but It's not re-routing as I understand it. It just guides you back to starting point and not back to the course/route, right?

I haven't tried it, but presumably it would head you back to a trail (rather than, say, off a cliff ;-) if in nature, where you can then just resume the run even if it wants to take you back. If on streets, I assume it would just reroute you back unfortunately. If you have good eyes (and I don't), presumably you could just look at the map and head yourself toward the closest point on the route.

But if you look at the map and see an interception point with your route you can go and when you get there the watch say you are in route again,but you are on your own until that. The maps don't work like a gps from a car. The best option is you go back to the point you make the wrong turn and then the watch guide you again
