One of the best navigation demos I have seen on TH-cam. Thank you so much. I have learned so much from this video otherwise many features would have gone unnoticed. Really excellent!
Ahah!! Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad it help. Fell free to see my other tutorials on this watch here : th-cam.com/play/PLtCUXPjk85IJ_ltInv_BeezdLMIMxNDHw.html
Received my tactix 7 pro much to learn cause it’s my first Garmin watch. Nice video covering everything we tactix users need to know about the navigation system.
Very detailed tutorial on navigation feature. Thank you for posting the video, I have just bought my first Garmin Fenix 7X and I am just getting familiar with functions and all features which I will be using especially navigation. Good job thank you once again !
Wow that video is simply amazing. I knew everything you demonstrated except manually selecting where I wanna go to trace a route in the watch itself. Thanks for the very detailed video.
Excellent, excellent video! The navigation explanations were the best I’ve seen so far. The Sight and Go feature usually gets overlooked in video tutorials - they usually just say “it’s a compass” and move on. Thanks for the detailed breakdown!
It would be great to use the phone with it's larger screen and touch to do all the navigation setting, picking a location, etc. and then send that to the watch and just glance at it while you ride your bike or hike.
Great video, learnt lots, I am Australian and recently traveled to India, I was not able to down load a map of India or any city of India. Garmin may not have i I to available. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again for your tuition on F7
On the fenix 7 series you can download maps for free straight from the watch. Go in the maps settings to find it. You will find in on the activity list page. On older model, you can purchase maps here : fave.co/3QSQFt1
Do you mean the mapping is empty? You can download maps if your regions was not built in the watch. From series 7 it's free and download is built in. Previous model need to be purchase from Garmin website.
Nice video…quick question. Do all the maps and navigation resources come with the watch? Or do we have to purchase them separately? For the tactix 7 pro
Hi blake. It's all built in. It is not impossible that there is some stuff you can buy, but I never had too. For exemple everything you can see in my tutorials are built in the watch.
Depends on where you buy it. If you're in North America you get the NA continent, if in Europe, you get that. However, if you plan to move or travel you can download other areas that you will need.
Great tutorial! Hope you can help me out. I have multiple routes on the garmin f7. Sometimes I start at a different point than the starting point. If I do so, it keeps sending me towards the starting point and than start the course. Is there any way to stop this?
Hum. That is interesting. I can't say I did use route this much... Espacially not from the start. I will have to give it a try. You are the second one to ask me about this recently.
Very helpful video, I have a question please and I’m hoping you can assist ? I live in Australia but I recently travelled to Turkey and bought the garmin Tactix delta (love it) but in navigation and I go to to search food and drink or fuel or accommodation it says “search near” and does not pick up anything but it does pick up close cities ! Is there something I’m doing wrong ?
Hi Peter. It is normal. On the new generation of watches, you could download any map directly from the watch over Wi-Fi, but unfortunately on the Delta, you will need to buy the maps of your area from garmin. You can get it here : fave.co/3VmeVUT There is some other way to get free maps from open street map, but I never tested it on my devices.
Great tutorial, but on my Fenix7s, no Routing, althoug I see it in the manual : -> Hold MENU, select Activities & Apps, select an activity, select the activity settings, and select Routing. I have Ebike, Walk, Ski, Golf...should popup in Walk at least?
Hi, great demonstration, thanks! It is sad to me that on my fenix 6 solar I don't have this point of interest around me and map but still I can enjoy with course and sight and go. I would ask about the GPS settings, which settings you set up for better work with the navigation outside?
Hi Petko. The Fenix is just the same as the tactix, you should see the point of interest around you. Maybe you should try to update your maps? Connect it to Garmin Express on your computer you should see options to do it. About the GPS setting, I always use the normal one. I never changed the default settings on the GPS.
@@HowToPM no no my fenix solar is base model and doesn't includes these options, that is the sad point😁 about GPS ok, I just wondering because I have normal, ultratrac, gps+glonass and gps+galileo but i don't know which is better. Ok thanks for your answer 😊
Oh I see. I didn't tought the base model had to option to have solar. Ultratrac will be the poorest mode as it only record a point from time to time to save battery. I always use normal. GPS work everywhere you can see sky. Glonass is basicaly a GPS system from Russia and Galileo from Europe. All of them work well, some maybe better in some part of the world. But I always stay on Normal as it work well for me.
Salut, merci pour tes vidéos! J'avais une question concernant la largeur du trait de ton parcours suivi. Sais-tu me dire pourquoi je n'ai pas ce trait aussi épais et ces flèches blanche? Est-il possible de grossir le trait d'un itinéraire suivi? Merci pour ton aide :)
How do you get your maps to show the green (for grass) I have the fenix 6 sapphire and haven’t been able to figure it out mine just shows white in those area’s
Oh yes it does. 🙂 Mapping work by continent. It comes with the maping of the continent of where you buy it, but you can also download the other if you are going away.
@@HowToPM thank you, i hope it s free for update and download. So far im disappointed in the fenix 6x nonpro and the solar instinct tactical. Gps are inaccurate and takes too long to get ready
The maps from other continent is not free from Garmin but you can also get some for free from a website that built it from OSM. I'm suprise you did not enjoy the fenix and the instinct. I did test both of them and loved it.
Hi Andy. Thank you for your comment. I did 40 tutorials videos with that watch. Just right here : th-cam.com/play/PLtCUXPjk85IJ_ltInv_BeezdLMIMxNDHw.html Let me know if there is something more you would like to learn I would be happy to do even more video. 😉
I tried using the automobile setting while on my motorcycle I thought it would be great to have turn by turn directions on my wrist but all I get is a straight line instead of turn by turn directions for example if I wanted to get on my motorcycle and ride from my house to a restaurant 11 miles away all I get is a straight line connecting my house to my destination how do I get rid of the straight line and make it have turn by turn directions? Basically how do I get this thing to work like Google maps works with my Samsung? Thanks
one question about courses, i created a course 10KM away from my home, when i use navigate and choose that course, is it normal that the watch doesn't show directions how to get to that course?
I think you can do it if you type it on garmin explore. It's a free app from garmin on witch you can load map on it. You should be able to type an adress and then send the position to the watch.
The watch come with the continent you purchase it from. If you have a gen 7 you will be able to download it directly for the watch over Wi-Fi. If you have a legacy model, you will need to purchase the map and load it to your watch from Garmin. fave.co/3VmeVUT
Nope. The maps are built-in the watch. From generation 7 you can use Wi-Fi to update the maps, but still, the map remain in physical memory so you can use it of the grid.
You probably just not have loaded the map of your region. On Tactix 7 you can download it straight from the watch, on Tactix Delta you need to purchase it from Garmin WebSite or get free version from some other site.
Once you understand the principle of those buttons, it's very easy to use. Take a look at my complete user guide : th-cam.com/video/_UNEgWKBgrI/w-d-xo.html

After almost 2 years with Tactix delta sapphire, i just learn a lot of the garmin navigation power. Very detailed guide.
Ahah!! Thanks I'm glad you apreciated!
Do you like the Tactix Delta non-solar? Im thinking of buying one used as the new modell prices are so high.
Received my tactix 7 pro much to learn cause it’s my first Garmin watch. Nice video covering everything we tactix users need to know about the navigation system.
Ahah!! Thank you Christopher. I think you will enjoy that video : th-cam.com/video/_UNEgWKBgrI/w-d-xo.html

Very detailed tutorial on navigation feature. Thank you for posting the video, I have just bought my first Garmin Fenix 7X and I am just getting familiar with functions and all features which I will be using especially navigation. Good job thank you once again !
After years using Instinct with bread crumb trails, I just got Epix 2 Sapphire with the maps, this explains a lot. Thank you

Thanks for the information 👍 I learned more about my fenix pro solor...
Great video - I am going to get a garmin soon and what you say makes sense - other videos not so much. Good job! You just earned a subscription...
Thanks! :)
Take a look at this video to help you make the right choice for you : th-cam.com/video/-3uI_AB7lDE/w-d-xo.html
It work on my forerunner 965 ☝️🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 tanks frenchie 😉
Can you plot multiple military grids for routes?
The Tactix can display up to two grid at the same time.
@@HowToPM do you have any videos showing how to do it? I only can plot one grid at a time
If I well remember you got an option call dual grid in the hot keys like in that video : th-cam.com/video/rQ4dOEIVVoU/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant video! So helpful. Thank you

That is some set up there. Any videos on that

How do you simply find and "start" an activity?
And what are you "starting"? Timer? Tracking?

Est-il possible de grossir le trait d'un itinéraire suivi?

How do you get your maps to show the green (for grass) I have the fenix 6 sapphire and haven’t been able to figure it out mine just shows white in those area’s
I think the green you see in the video is not because it's grass but because it's a natural park.
U mentioned of getting lost in the desert. Does this have offline map for that?
Oh yes it does. 🙂 Mapping work by continent. It comes with the maping of the continent of where you buy it, but you can also download the other if you are going away.
@@HowToPM thank you, i hope it s free for update and download. So far im disappointed in the fenix 6x nonpro and the solar instinct tactical. Gps are inaccurate and takes too long to get ready

Can you import a kml/kmz route to the watch and navigate using that for hiking etc?
Hum. That is a good question. I never tried it but I'm pretty sure there is a way to do it.
What watchband are you using here?
This one : geni.us/GarminTactixNylonBand
Awesome! thanks!
You are welcome. Thank you for your comment and have fun navigating with your watch. 😉
@@HowToPM Let's begin our journey with Tactix this winter! Baam!
How do I pull my own grid
great video make some more..
Hi Andy. Thank you for your comment. I did 40 tutorials videos with that watch. Just right here : th-cam.com/play/PLtCUXPjk85IJ_ltInv_BeezdLMIMxNDHw.html

Seam weird to me. Every time I point something on the map it does create me an itinerary just like Google Maps.
same!
did you find a fix? I'm about to return this thing
one question about courses, i created a course 10KM away from my home, when i use navigate and choose that course, is it normal that the watch doesn't show directions how to get to that course?
Yea. Course are made to be started when you are on it.
It's a POI that you must create to reach the begining of your course.
@@HowToPM thanks, sad to know.
Awsome😊
Is there a way to enter an address and then follow the map?
I think you can do it if you type it on garmin explore. It's a free app from garmin on witch you can load map on it. You should be able to type an adress and then send the position to the watch.
When I go map search it nothing loads. Am I required to download the area map or something?
The watch come with the continent you purchase it from.
If you have a gen 7 you will be able to download it directly for the watch over Wi-Fi.
If you have a legacy model, you will need to purchase the map and load it to your watch from Garmin.

Do you need WiFi to use the map?
Nope. The maps are built-in the watch.
From generation 7 you can use Wi-Fi to update the maps, but still, the map remain in physical memory so you can use it of the grid.
My tactix delta solar slower than yours. Any reason you guys can know? Please help me. I got it new so i know only about 5% of the watch so far hahah.
What number garmin fenix is this
The watch in that video is the Garmin Tactix Delta.
This one : geni.us/GarminTactixSolar 😉
My nav doesn’t work
On my tactix delta, Map can't appear, is it because I live in Indonesia?
You probably just not have loaded the map of your region.

Lol I can’t even get text notifications 🤦🏻♂️
Once your watch is paired with garmin connect, you do receive it.

This watch is way to complicated to use.
Once you understand the principle of those buttons, it's very easy to use. Take a look at my complete user guide : th-cam.com/video/_UNEgWKBgrI/w-d-xo.html
Didn't understand a word he said.
How long does it take to calculate coordinates on the garmin watch usually
Actual location is pretty much instant once the GPS is turned on.
