This is a useful video in demonstrating that the navigation on this watch looks absolutely useless! 😂
Thank you for the video...really appreciate it
i was about to ask the question on a forum but you answered it by this video.
thanks a lot, need to try that
Thank you! This was very helpful on figuring out how to turn on my navigation while running a scheduled workout.
Great video, thank you.
Is it possible to export saved location from watch to garmin connect?
Have you tried the PacePro with courses? I want to set up a 10k course but don't know the area that well. Would it tell me when to turn left/right etc? Or does it only tell you you're on / off course
Hi. Nice vidéos. The well-explained I’ve seen. Just a question about navigation. At 5:02 There ´s a black arrow at the bottom of the screen. Is it to indicate the next direction to take as the red arrow does ? Can we keep it during navigation ? (Cause I find it more practical) thanks
Brilliant video thank you so much 👏👏👏
You're very welcome! Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching and please consider liking and subscribing! 🙂
Can you run a workout and a course at the same time? I want to run intervals but still along a defined course...
I don't want to save a location and navigate to it. Am I able to just save my starting location as the destination. Then wander around then use back to start?
Hey, i am trying to get to know following before i buy this:
1. how is the nightmode? i meant doest it switch the screen off during sleep custome time set so that it doesnt hurt on eyes?
2. if yes, can we push the button to see the light in middle of night if required and if that light is suttle enough to not hurt the eyes?
Can new locations be added by entering the coordinates or importing from phone?
Does this model not show features such as bodies of water on a trail but other Garmins etc do ? Or was it due to the kind of Route you programmed ? I'm looking for a GPS watch that is going to give me a bit more detail on the trail that I'm running. Cheers
Great video. Just got this watch today and it feels like I was transported back to 2005. Can't believe I dropped $250, I might be taking it back.
Me too. It looks like my 20 year old Casio. I just returned it.
I ended up returning mine as well.
Guys, don't forget that this is a watch for runners, it's not a smartwatch
i skimmed through this video and didn't read any long-form text on this device but is it possible (or practical?) to use the GPS in this watch to get from home to work by car, or home to store by car? I'm trying to replace my smart phone with a flip phone and in looking for a dedicated GPS I mainly found ones that go for 100+ which is what I can get this watch for so I'm wondering if I can use this as a dedicated GPS.....Of course it looks cool and has other functions too so let me know if its impractical to use mainly for GPS car travel or not.
When I go to save my ride or run after completing the course it has been saying 0.0. It has even said course complete as I finish. Help????
How to use gps for fly with garmin watch
I can't find any videos showing whether breadcrumb/worm navigation is any good in practice. I used to have the Vivoactive 4 with a third party plugin for this, but it was a hassle to load GPX files (basically all apps on Garmins platform are crap), so I would prefer the FR 245, yet nobody ever seems to have used it in practice on a bike ride. Very often, out in the fields, there aren't so many roads, so worm navigation might be just enough, is what I would think...
Bread crumbs are eaten by the birds, H&G did nit fair well using this method. FR 245 tricky to use. Only use worm nav if all else fails, prone to burrowing deep and hiding info.
really informative video. thanks. I've got a forerunner 945 - I haven't tried the navigation setting yet. I wanted to know if you can listen to the map instructions via AirPods rather than keep checking down on the phone for route instructions?
Cool video. Does the 245 have the function of adding points by MGRS (by phone or by watch) for navigation or only the path from the previous activity or GPX? I can't find any real information.
Yes the mgrs can be reset from your phone, but please note this can only be done when in a locked bathroom. Turn off all tech and while singing your countries chosen national anthem.
Is there a way to use a course from Alltrail?
Does this work with setting up a course on roads? Knowing where and when to turn on the course seems confusing. Can you set up for a mileage amount, and not necessarily a location? ie: Asking it to set up a 5 mile out and back course from your home.
I've same questions. Did you get the answer?
No.
@@onlyhuman2936 You can set it up on roads as well as off road trails (I’m in the UK, so for us it’s OS public foot path trails for off road routing) it’s far easier to use the Garmin connect app when creating maps. You can do this under the courses section within the app, where under the automatic option, Garmin will create a trail from a desired start point from a given distance and direction. Alternatively you can create your own course by plotting points on the map. Either option can then be saved to your watch / device.
From personal experiences, it’s absolutely brilliant. Especially the automatic route option for walking / running etc. The only single downside, in my opinion, is the lack of a search feature on the app. I.e, if you wanted to create a walk in a location 200 miles away, you have to physically scroll and search on the map for the area, as there is no search bar.
If you’re into serious hiking / trail walking, I would say that a hand held Garmin GPS device is better suited, as covers landmarks / rivers etc. Where the watch navigation doesn’t give you this (maybe on the higher end Fenix models)
@@harrygilbert3738 Thanks man👍
@@harrygilbert3738 there great advice Im in Australia Melbourne so maybe my connect app is different to yours but i cant find a courses section . Any advice
Hi.. Have you try to upload a GPX files map to it and navigate the map from watch ?
@gauginggadget great video, very helpful before I buy a 245M. How about @muliadychen question. Is it possible to upload a GPX course on the F245M? Would be great for trailrunning courses.
J
Very helpful.
I use the Strava routes feature, which ties into this. I constantly get vibration and beeps that I'm off course.. is there any way to disable the beeps and vibration? I've disabled notification beeps/vibration but does not stop the annoying navigation alerts
Can you use GPX files with this watch?
anyone know how to use mgrs data field?
Hi! I cannot see this "Save Location" icon. It doesnt exist in this screen. Where can i find it? Thank you.
You need to go into settings by holding the up button, as he says in the video. Then you go to controls, and Add. There you can add the ‘save location’ function.
Awesome clear video. Without setting up locations how do I know or turn on the GPS? I did a run today and it recorded everything but the trail I did as the GPS wasn't on. I thought it automatically did this.
great vid i am learning thanks to you but im wondering how do you plot a course without saved locations
The easiest way is using the Garmin connect app on your phone. It has a Google maps type input that allows you to draw custom courses. Or you can walk the course while recording an activity, saving the activity will save the course.
Just got my first watch. Kinda overwhelmed with all the stuff these things can do.
That's great. They're really cool watches. Here's my playlist covering tons of awesome features on the Forerunner 245: th-cam.com/play/PL8griS8Ww-Kl6i26Ijqji6OZHdUc8gWiC.html
Which is better for following a track, this or the vivo 4?
Probably the Garmin.
Can you edit saved locations? Can you use MGRS format?
I really really want to know this too. I love the 245 but the instinct I know allows MGRS. If the 245 allows MGRS to be viewed it would be hands down the better watch
Do you guys know if you can use routes traveled as set routes back home
Saved locations, located in brain memory. Mgrs format then not required.
Do you know if the forerunner 45 have this option ?
Unfortunately it does not have this option. Let me know if you have any other questions. I plan on releasing an in depth review of the 45 so please like and consider subscribing. Thanks for watching!
@@GaugingGadgets thank you for your reply.i think that Some people like me on mountain bikes should be able to have navigation option ,We like to ride in new places that we do not know, so mountain bikers have to consider this.
I have a forerunner 245 music but I don't have the map marker on the rotation dial. How do I get that?
Open the rotation dial and then hold the up button. You will see a menu there to add it. That's is called save location.
@@GaugingGadgets Thank you so much! I found it. There is so much to this watch that I don't know how to use, but I'm glad I have it because I am running and want to track everything I can.
Does the watch actually have maps where it tracks your activity as to where you went etc ??
Yes. Found it today. It is a green out line of where you have been, no reference points. This can be seen on the watches screen,
What do the 2 different red arrows mean?
I think it means buy a compass 😭
How do you zoom in or out of a map during a run?
If you bring the device closer to your visual receptors it zooms in.
Hello
Hello
The user interface is a cluster F.
Way too quick on buttons and not actually saying which button you push.
Too fast. Slow down on explaining how to use functions.
It is ok you are not alone.
First point gps, now you have lost me , “if you don’t have it you may need to add it” What? Does every one under 50 have built in tech savvy ness ? My first techs watch and reviews say ‘add it’? How ? This watch comes with limited instructions and a tutorial which doesn’t explain how to do something just frustrates. Ahhh please help, assume we are stupid or post a tutorial for idiots who don’t run their lives from a phone. Please help.
You hold down the up button in the circle minute he showed. Then you scroll through and find the location one.
Your tapping was WAY too fast and didn't SAY what buttons you were pushing. I am confused now.
check you out around 2:40-5... no idea how you got there.
That is in the navigation settings.
Agree. Way too fast. Slow down on your explanations and button pressing.
It is a mystery only to be solved by the under 30s with a maths degree. 5 buttons on this thing, i found if you press them all at the same time, the MPGRS uses the breadcrumb worm hole to transport you to the end of you exercise with minimal effort.
