As someone who struggles with map reading in certain areas. This is a great video thank you
Save location is really handy. Track back too on my Fenix 5 from 2017 I think. Saved me couple times.
Excellent. got the GR working on my 6x now. Thanks
Thanks Andy, heard this on the Podcast this morning - now setup on my Fenix 7 Saphire Solar .
Brilliant video buddy. Been trying to sort my fenix 6x Pro for nav for ages! This video is spot on and really easy to follow!
This was an absolutely excellent video! Well done and thank you for making this so easy. This is exactly what I was looking for and as a value add you showed me how use the hot key to be able to retrieve the location without going through maps or a lot of menus! Perfect!
Brilliant tutorial. Thanks very much for that.
Hi Andy, yet another very informative video thank you..I've had my Fenix 6x for about a year and did'nt know about this feature...well I do now and it's now set to show the grid reference...Thanks for the great videos..Martin

Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for info and quick reply
No problem 👍
Great job
Thank you so much!!!!! 🙏
Helpful mate thanks for this!
Glad it helped
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Super useful vid. Thanks
You're welcome!
Very informative video Andy ; could you help me do the same setup for British Grid for Forerunner 55 watch?
Sadly we don’t have any Forerunners to make a video with as Garmin class us as an outdoor retailer/ trainer.
Please accept my apologies.
HI, in your video, the complete grid ref is NU 05930. You've explained the NU 059. What are the 30 for?
Where did you get that watchband im about to get the mineral blue fenix 7x solar sapphire upgrading from my Fenix 6x ss I usually get black but getting a white and blue I like your videos and also want that band
Thanks for your message, the band was bought from Amazon.
Thank you the video. Can I enter coordinates to navigate me anywhere in the world? For example I've got a trip to the Sahara desert where there is no data connection or Internet can I use the watch to guide to my destination?
You can change the Fenix 7 watch to a number of different position formats not just British Grid that we use in the UK, this link to Garmin's website shows the options support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=lvWzTYlPsx6BvUDTyKfqC8&identifier=865945&tab=topics you can then mark a waypoint on your watch at where you are and then select edit and edit the location grid to one you want to navigate to, kind regards
What are the last 2 digits
NU 32 and BNG 92
Sorry a little confused by your question.
A grid reference it made up of x 3 elements -
Two letters - eg NU (which tells you which 100km x 100km it is)
Then two sets of x 5 numbers (Easting and Northings)
BNG stands for - British National grid i.e. the watch is set up to show a British grid ref.
I hope this helps.
I tend to use Explorer, rather than Landranger.
Is there a way to display the appropriate reference for these.
Or, am I being a muppet. 👍🏻
The grid reference on both Landranger maps and Explorer maps are the same.
@@ukgpstraining I knew I was being a muppet 🤦🏼♂️😂
Thank you for replying so quickly.
Love the videos, they are so helpful 👍🏻
