I haven’t had a chance to test the new software in the mountains yet, but I don’t like the 40m distance, which will display an “off-route” message and will likely cause Climb Guidance to stop working.
In my opinion, this distance is definitely too short for more rugged terrain or, for example, in winter, when it’s not always safe to stick to the trail (avalanches).
The new off-route detection has no fixed distance anymore.
It is dynamic adjusting to your current speed and direction.
I did a quick test, and it’s even worse than I thought. After 40m, as expected, I got an “Off route” message.
But what surprised me was that, according to the watch, I had to get within 20m to be back on route. So even when you’re just 21m from the theoretically planned route, you don’t have tools like Climb Guidance, ETA, etc. That’s my first disappointment with the new software.
