Note: Maps and Navigation are limited to the Fenix 6 Pro model and above. This includes Points of Interest, Around Me, Courses, Round-trip Courses, Activities, Saved Locations, Last MOB, Sight 'N Go, Coordinates, and use Map.
All map and navigation features on the Fenix 6 can be accessed by opening the Navigate activity on the watch. Once there you will find the following map and navigation options:
• Points of Interest: The Fenix 6 will find places near you using the GPS. These points of interest will be organized by category and include popular travel destinations such as hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and stores.
• Around Me: Similar to Points of Interest, but this option allows you to choose the direction of the search. It also allows for searching of points of interest by name.
• Courses: Navigation using a collection of points of interest or saved locations on the watch.
• Round-Trip Courses: Similar to courses, but will reverse the order to bring you back to the beginning of the course.
• Activities: Allows you to view your activities from a map and navigation standpoint. This includes navigating you through the activities again, viewing it on a map, and seeing detailed information about the activity.
• Saved Locations: List of saved waypoints on your Fenix 6. This is where you can view, edit and navigate to them.
• Last MOB: This allows you to save and navigate to the last Man Overboard location on the watch. This can be configured to be opened using hot keys as well for quicker access.
• Sight 'N Go: Allows the Fenix 6 to navigate toward landmarks by simply pointing the watch in the direction of the landmark. I have not had much luck using this feature, but I could see it being useful in some situations.
• Coordinates: Allows you to manually enter GPS locations into the Fenix 6
• Use Map: Opens the map to your current locations. Allows you pan and zoom so you can see your surroundings.

The navigation functions seem to be very similar to those on my Garmin Descent MK I smart watch and dive computer. Does the Fenix 6 have the same navigation functions similar to the Garmin Foretrex 401 and Foretrex 601 wrist GPS's? For example, the Garmin Foretrex in navigation mode can have a slew of navigation functions such as "Turn (left or right turns in degrees to stay on course), ETA, Final Distance, Final Arrival, etc. I have used the MK I to navigate off trail as well as by boat on the water. I once was doing one of the Appalachian Mountain Club's 100-Highest (Mt Nancy in NH), and the MK I's Map showed a herd trail to the summit labeled "Mt Nancy Trail," which I followed to the summit. The 100-Highests are bushwhacks, and I came prepared to hike to the summit using an orienteering compass and a topo map. That was a big surprise to find such a trail already on the MK I Map.

@@stefanjagger you could edit the Hike activity setting and then add another data page and have it set as maps. That way whilst you’re in the hike activity you’ll just need to press down to get to a different data screen.

Does anyone know what the red arrow is on the map screen? The blue arrow is you but I'm lost on what the red is! I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.

How about deleting (some of) the preset maps on the watch via Base Camp? Do you know if/how that works?

I recently upgraded from the Foreathlete 245 to the Fenix 6x Pro. What i cannot figure out is how to make the Fenix 6x timer pause automatically when I stop running or walking, then restart automatically once I begin the activity again. Any suggestions?

I don't like its map because it won't let me search a place like what I can do on a phone, and it doesn't support me finding a place on phone and showing on the watch

hi sorry to bother but for some reason my fenix 6 map now has this line at the bottom going across and distance to start there. Its missing the 2 data fields that i had previously - Travel time and distance. Both these fields are missing? i did a reset but same problem. Any suggestions or is this normal until you get the the trail start point? thanks

This watch is great, but its let down by a screen one can only navigate with the buttons. Very Frustrating. Wish Garmin would get with the program and make their screen touch sensitive

I prefer the buttons over a touchscreen. Works great when went and there are rarely any accidental pressed buttons.

how long did it take to find the gps each time? You was time lapsing so I didnt get it...Also it would be usefull to see the navigation in process of guiding You throgh streets etc to see how fast it updates Your location and is it lagging or not.
@GaugingGadgets
@GaugingGadgets 4 года назад
Hello, depending on your surroundings it should only take a couple seconds to sync the GPS. As for the navigation guidance, I find it extremely useful and have used it on hikes and even in cities to navigate. It is very similar to google maps navigation on your phone and does not have lag.

Gauging Gadgets did you have the previous model, Fenix 5 plus with maps? I have found trying to navigate a route longer than about 5km unworkable. It takes as long as 30mins to calculate the route. I would like to upgrade but want to be sure that the new model performs better.

my 6x pinpoint my current location(rural area in Borneo island) in 30 secs, more or less. calculating walking routes (tested at 2km and 10km destination) would take less than 1 min. pretty impressive if u ask me.. probably ur gps settings didnt turn on GLONASS/GALILEO?
