Thank you for posting this! I was having SO MUCH TROUBLE figuring out how to actually find the course on my watch once I created it. there are so many videos about how to create a course, and this was the first one I could find that actually shows you the very crucial step 2: how to find the dang course on your device once you've created it, so THANK YOU!

@ChaseTheSummit 4 года назад

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

@AdrianTregoning 3 года назад

Exactly what I needed to see. Your videos are pure gold. I'm a month into the Fenix 6X and zero regrets! What a machine. It was not easy to change as I was a Suunto man for years but all I hear is breakages and software issues. Garmin for the win. They should be sending you cheques.

@mattchrabot7799 2 года назад

Hey Dave, This is huge! Thanks for commenting on another video I commented on and referring me to this. This seems super simple and I think I can export out my existing course from Garmin Connect as a .FIT.

@ChaseTheSummit 2 года назад

Hope it helps! This took a while for me to figure out for my ultra races as well. Not sure why Garmin makes it so complicated!

@moodytang5187 2 года назад

I did not realize that the course needs to be saved as FIT instead of 'Send to Device' directly. And when I completed the course, there was no distance shown/saved! perhaps I did not get the signal before i started?! the video tutorial is great!

@mattchrabot7799 2 года назад

@@moodytang5187 Yup, I saved it as a .FIT file and dropped it to my 945 through a PC. It was a bit more complicated than I would've liked bc I typically work on Macs. In the end, it worked. With this file, I knew exactly when the next aide station was coming up as I competed in the Pikes Peak marathon in 2021. I didn't need to know when a turn was coming up bc the course is well marked and simple, so the typical Garmin instructions were worthless. This helped me drop 25minutes over the previous year. **If you ever decide to use a feature like this for a race, or even something like PacePro, always test it out EXTENSIVELY days or weeks before the event. That way it performs as you intend to use it and aren't distracted by unexpected oddities/alerts the watch throws at you** I plan to use PacePro for CIM next year to run sub 2:18. I'll count on many sessions of trial and error in the through out the year leading up to the race so the feature works exactly the way I want it to. Thanks for all your reviews @ChasetheSummit

@hoffmancapote 3 года назад

I found the tutorial very helpful. I have only had my Fenix 6 Saphire a couple of weeks and a lot of videos on RU-vid are often the basic stuff which are more or less similar to a lot of other videos. Tutorials are helpful because it encourages the user to get the full potential of having a feature rich sports watch. I think another good tutorial would be how to use swapping between screens while running or any other sport. As a new user it often becomes trial and error how to get to function as quick as posible, during a run preparing for a run or whatever sport the user is into

Loved this video, thank you! Rookie question here- just starting to look at sports watches and specifically the 945/Fenix 6. With step by step navigation, is the watch verbally (calling out) the directions? I plan to use this for cycling also and it would be helpful to HEAR the directions versus looking down at the watch.

@ChaseTheSummit 2 года назад

Glad it was helpful! The watch doesn't verbally speak to you. Instead if vibrates and beeps to indicate a turn is coming. I'm not sure how useful it would be in a cycling application unless it was mounted to your handlebars like an Edge bike computer.

@dasnipa82 4 года назад

Thanks for the helpful video. I've been using the Fenix 6X Pro Sapphire for 9 months now, and it drives me nuts that the "Next Waypoint" and "Distance to Next" data elements never work. When I'm out hiking in the White Mountains, I often want to plot a waypoint on the summit of several mountains that I've doing as part of a plotted course. As you noted, the data elements for those custom waypoints get screwed up when transferring wirelessly from Garmin Connect. I will definitely give this FIT file option a try on the hike I have coming up this weekend. Thanks for the tip!

@ChaseTheSummit 4 года назад

Yup! This was exactly my issue. Instead of showing the next actual waypoint it would indicate the next turn. White Mountains are also my stomping grounds! Thanks for watching!

"Race an activity" is pretty cool. It basically puts the watch into "Virtual pacer" mode where it will show a white arrow on your map page that represents your time to beat. There will also be a data page that shoes how far behind/ahead you are in relation to your "virtual racing self". Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.

@pongs31 4 года назад

Thanks :) I learned a couple new tricks. I personally like using the "Send to Device" button on Garmin Connect, and then syncing using the WIFI sync. I have setup a quick action sync button so I don't need to physically connect the phone to the computer. I have also turned off bluetooth sync to save battery life (I get 30 days watch mode and 60hrs gps mode without bluetooth).

@ChaseTheSummit 4 года назад

Thanks for watching! "Send to Device" is MUCH easier to use. But as noted in the video it included turn-by-turn directions which buries my important course points so I prefer the USB method. I still use the phone method when I need to do something quickly though. Battery life has been great! Thanks again!

Is there a way to just skip this message and continue the course? Or there was something wrong with my GPS?

@ChaseTheSummit 4 года назад

You could disable the "off course" alert in the settings if it bothers you. I don't think there's anything wrong with your GPS sometimes the course just isn't a perfect representation of the roads or trails that you're on. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

Great Video, thank you! One thing I can't find is how to mark segments. I love to see how long it takes me to hit certain points on my favourite routes, while still having auto km laps on. I have switched from the Suunto 9, where you just pushed the lap button and it gave you time from start. On the Fenix 6, it gives from the last auto lap. As an example, from my house I do a 1.5ish km warm up to the trail head. I want to hit the lap button at that point, then start. Next I want to hit again at the summit to see how long it took me, then again at the bottom. I know I can do this by turning off the auto lap, but I want to see those km splits!! Or on a road tempo run. Warm up, then tempo, then cool down. I want the 3 segments, but also need that km feedback. Hope this makes sense. Thank you!

Hi Mr CtS, Loved your vid, quite handy! Just one question: After saving a new course, what's the difference between Downloading the FIT file and the option/button Send to device? I've used the "send to device" option but the watch did not guide me. It showed the course on the map but while purposely steering away from the route, the wtatch didn't notify or alert me. (I got a F3). Cheers!

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

It's weird how this works. Basically if you use the "send to device" option it turns EVERY turn into a waypoint. So your "distance to next" data field will show the distance to the next turn. I didn't like this because I wanted to know the distance to the next actual waypoint. This is why I sync over USB. Hope that helps!

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

Kind of. Like I mention in the video when you sync from the app it seems to add "course points" to every turn trying to mimic turn by turn navigation. In my use case that was an issue because I wanted to use the "distance to next" data field to tell me how far I was from the next aid station... Not the next turn.

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

Yeah it's strange how that happens. I think the watch automatically switches to the main screen after some time to preserve the battery. The map view consumes more battery because of how often it's being refreshed. You could try changing the order of your data pages so that there's less clicks to get to the map?

It was available at the time but had issues. As mentioned in the video there was an issue using “send to device” as it would turn every turn into a waypoint. So if you use the data field “distance to next” or “next waypoint” it would show the next turn and not the actual next waypoint. This drove me nuts at ultramarathons because I wanted to see how far aid stations were. By using the USB transfer method it somehow fixes this issue 🤷‍♂️ thanks for watching!

Thanks for the video. Just bought a 6 Pro. Do you know how many data points would make up a 100 mile course file, and is there a way to maximise this and hence the accuracy of a long route? Have taken many wrong turns with Fenix 3 as a long winding course shows as a series of long straight lines.

@ChaseTheSummit 4 года назад

If you build the course in Garmin Connect using the Training > Courses tool it will optimize the track to have the most resolution while limiting the data points as to not overload the watch. Courses can only have a certain amount of points before the watch cannot translate the file. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the tutorial Dave ! I have noticed an annoying issue with course navigation (i use an instinct solar). If you start a course, but then somewhere along the way stop navigation and restart it, the watch will try to direct you only to the starting point. Even if you are on the course - and moving in the correct direction, you cannot see your saved waypoints anymore. This is a major flaw if you are running a race, relying on e.g. aid-station waypoints and accidentally stop navigation. Is this also the case in other models (Fenix etc.)? To be clear - you can still navigate using the breadcrumb line when this happens. Thanks in advance.

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

Yeah I've noticed that as well but usually the watch will resume the course once you progress 20-30 meters in the right direction. It basically figures out that you're in the middle of the course at some point. Have you tried that?

@urigarbi 3 года назад

@@ChaseTheSummit I have tried. In fact I continued the remaining 12k of the run - but the watch insisted on showing the direction and distance to the course start point. Actually - when I finally reached the end of the course (which was also the starting point) - the watch happily said - "Course Started". Garmin support couldn't give me a good advice here. I submitted this issue to their "Ideas" web page. Thanks for your quick response. If you ever get a chance to run a saved course with an Instinct solar - give it a try...

@francescoghilotti5671 3 года назад

Great Video! But does it work with the normal Garmin Fenix 6 (Not the Pro/Saphire/X etc) ? The link you put in description leads to the Fenix 6 Pro and not the Standard 6. Thanks! 🙏🏼

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

This process applies to both. However on the Non-Pro you won't get the full map, just a breadcrumb trail of your course. Hope that helps!

@joebourguignon8709 Год назад

I love the video, Dave! Where did you get your "data field" screen that shows 6 fields? I can't find that option anywhere in Garmin IQ; is it only on the Fenix or can the Forerunner 935 get it too? :) (the data screen I'm talking about is at 8:52 in the video) Thanks!

@ChaseTheSummit Год назад

The 935 is limited to 4 data fields unfortunately.

Hey, thanks for the video!!! I have one question is the course planning compatible with the Garmin Venu 2S ? Thank you for the answer :D

@ChaseTheSummit 2 года назад

Unfortunately no, Venu 2 doesn't have navigation features.

Being a newbie on Garmin 6x pro, really helpful. Any tips on adding data for Strength activity. I am confused about weight and rep protocol.

@ChaseTheSummit 2 года назад

I don't have a ton of experience with the strength profile but I'm glad this was helpful!

@jamesa2487ify 3 года назад

Great video. Is this still the case all this time later or is there a way of syncing via GC and turning off turn by turn? Additionally i have used the FIT option which works but it says i am 10km from my first waypoint that i have created and im 60 miles away as im not on the course yet?

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

The manual method is still the best in my opinion. When you sync via the app it creates course waypoints for every turn which isn't desirable for my situation. Hope that helps.

@theun72 4 года назад

Hi, nice video, Good work. My question is, how do you know during running that you’re going in the direction that you’ve just made in the map?, is it a turn by turn navigation during the run?, because you’re hartrate en speed screens are on the display and not the navigation. What does the navigation screen look like during you’re run? Thanks for you’re reply

@ChaseTheSummit 4 года назад

There's a separate page for the map if you want to view the route. The watch will also vibrate and beep if you deviate too far off of the course. There's also a "heading bug" you can enable that's visible on all of the screens thats just a small red arrow that points you in the right direction. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.

thanks a lot for the video. very well explained, i didn't realize I could do a course like this because i didn't know about the feature you showed ud on Garmin Connect. Great! I have another question, is it possible to download maps on Garmin Fenix 6 (just Fenix 6, not 6x or pro models) and follow traks with them? it is possible, it would be great if you had a video of it :) thank you very much

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

You can follow a course on the non-pro Fenix 6 but it will not show a map... Only a squiggly line indicating your course. Hope that helps!

Hi Dave! Is there any way under the course builder to choose one of the other Garmin predefined activities (I want to use the “Climb” activity profile) which does not show up on the limited number of options they give you on the course type menu?

@ChaseTheSummit Год назад

Nope only from the selections but you should still be able to use them in any activity on the watch.

@gerardhauy4486 3 года назад

In the video you place a fictitious aid station / point by just randomly clicking on the course line; but what if you get a series of coordinates for the aid stations of a particular competition? I played with GC a while and I don't see how to use coordinates to inject a waypoint somewhere - not to mention the very limited quality of the Garmin-provided map... Any comment [or did I miss something else :-) ]?

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

If you need to do something more complex using Garmin's Basecamp application can be helpful. You can also import a GPX file into Garmin Connect from any other application like Gaia GPS. Hope that helps!

@NeverSummer0815 3 года назад

As a climber/mountaineer, how happy are you with the Forerunner945 in such a setting (gps accuracy, baro & weather, etc.)?

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

It's pretty awesome. Right on par with the Garmin Fenix 6 just in a slightly less durable package.

@chinyong8166 3 года назад

thanks for the guide. I frequently get lost on trail runs the longer they are. in your 100miler, did you use navigation constantly and did it slay your battery. well i suppose you said it lasted the 26 hours but I don't know if that was with navigation on the whole time. if so, I will buy the garmin 6 right away and garmin should pay you a commission! thanks if you could answer the question. (also, does it tell you when you go off course or do you just peek at the map from time to time)

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

During that 100 I used navigation the entire time. It was enabled all 26 hours. However, I didn't leave the display on the map screen. That screen in particular needs to refresh a lot and causes battery drain. I just let it tell me if I was off course and occasionally flipped over to check the map. It worked GREAT and I actually saved some other runners from going off course because of it. Thanks for watching! (I do get a commission if you choose to purchase through amazon using the link in the description... It costs nothing extra to you)

@gillonblank 3 года назад

You mentioned how you use this in a race. That would mean uploading the race’s GPX file. How would you do this with a GPX track and add aid stations? That would be a great help. Thanks.

@ChaseTheSummit 3 года назад

Hey Gil. A GPX file can be uploaded into gramin connects course builder and Aid stations can be added as waypoints in which the watch will display when you're following the course. It's a great feature!

@erichpessl1014 4 года назад

Quick question, what is the benefit of the gunsight icon in middle screen in map navigation?

@ChaseTheSummit 4 года назад

That's used if you're trying to select a pinpoint on the map to navigate to or mark as a waypoint. Think of it kind of like a mouse cursor on a computer. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.
