Watches that can do turn by turn navigation
Other than the Garmin Fenix watches, what other watches can you import GPX files and use it for turn by turn navigation?
|
Fenix does it really well. The Forerunner line share most of their code with the Fenix and have this function, too. Smart watches might have a similar feature, although it's anybody's guess whether they'll have enough battery life to get you to your destination. ;)

[MENTION=452978]xodondum[/MENTION], you were really into your Fenix when you got it.
Has something changed or is there something you now don't like as you have gotten used to the product? -Tim- |
I think you have me confused with someone? I never had a Fenix. I would like a Fenix but they're too $$$

The new F5 is pricey, and you can't shop around to change that. But the older F3 and F3HR are much less expensive now. The F5 was a big update but not a giant one, the F3 series are still very capable watches, and provide turn-by-turn. You might consider this as a way to get first rate athletic features, a pretty smart watch, and TBT, without breaking the bank. |

Vivoactive has an app dwmap that does a decent job I you preload the route. It may work on other models as well.

Oh Apple Maps, not sure if it's trustworthy when on a bike. Their map data is very inaccurate even in my area, which is a few miles from Apple's headquarter.
