wildwanderer wrote:My greatest need is to import or modify routes mid trip without any mobile/data reception required. So you think the watch can do that with the explore mobile app or a third party app to create a gpx? All on the phone and without a data connection? (And then sync to watch via Bluetooth)

wildwanderer wrote:So I was wondering if the watch had a way of displaying cordinates on the map screen. Similar to my phone app, screen shot attached.(it displays the grid reference and the lat long)
wildwanderer wrote:Is there a way to find the bearing to a given location on the map? Without needing to nominate that location in the phone app and sync it to the watch.
wildwanderer wrote:Could I do that without the GPS being on? Or at least in a low power gps mode.

wildwanderer wrote:Its a shame that the fenix doesnt offer the abilty to determine the bearing of a feature on the map.(unless the feature is already pre-synced as a location) It would really give the watch a superior on the go navigation ability and set it apart from other watches which rely on users following preloaded courses/waypoints.
