Yeah, good isn't it. I setup a course for an "exploring" run the other day and some might be interested in this pic https://www.instagram.com/p/BF_gCGouofB/ which gives an idea of the sort of display you get.
Yup, it's simply brilliant! I also love how you can add a "pace" on the course creation which is then used to display an "estimated time" of completion which is actively tracked throughout the run.
Now the fact that all the turns in the route are automatically detected and converted into vibrating alarms is what makes this whole thing work like a charm!
I am nitpicking here but two suggestions for improvement:
1) Add a way to disable "off route" alarms as sometimes what you find in front of you doesn't match what you planned online so you make real-time adjustments. That's my personal preference of course
2) Change the timing of the second "turn" alarm which in my case always seem to happen a few seconds after I made the turn instead of right on or before the turn. I am not sure if this is by design but right now the second alarm acts more as a "confirmation" of the turn rather than a routing aid. If it's by design, then also give us an option to disable it as at the end of the day the watch keeps buzzing too often :-)
Again, I am nitpicking here as I *love* the new routing functionality!
I think the second alert is a confirmation that you made the correct turn. I actually like that as sometimes if you get no feedback you are not sure about the turn unless you are watching the bread crumb map.

Right, I can see how people would like this but that's why I suggested that if "it's feature, not a bug" I would prefer to give us the option to disable the second confirmation buzz because this ends up being too many buzzes for my taste :-) I am not suggesting to turn it off for good as I can see its value.
