Simultaneous Route Navigation & Workout Tracking on GPS Watch, Race?

HomeRunner

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding my GPS sports watch. I know I can navigate a route with it, and I can also track my workouts. My main question is: Can I do both simultaneously?

I’d like to load a pre-planned route onto my watch, start my training (e.g., running, cycling), and receive alerts when I need to turn. When an alert comes, I want to be able to glance at my watch and see the map to confirm my direction.

Is this functionality generally supported, and how do I set it up? Any tips or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Regarsd, Frank

@HomeRunner Absolutely, when setting up your exercise selection a route in the Navigation pane. You need to plan or import a route into the app first or you can select popular routes in your area. This is done on the map page of the app.

Hi Brad, the maps and the route are on the watch, but what are the right steps to start it?

@HomeRunner the manual/user guide should cover this.

@HomeRunner 2 options:

Start with exercise (standard way):
Choose the sport mode you want to use and then in the pre-start screen scroll to “Navigation”, select it and choose “Routes”. Then pick your planned route to follow.
Go back and start exercise
Sart with navigation:
Open the maps widget. press lower button for options and select “Routes”. Pick your route and select to navigate it. The watch will ask if you only want to navogate or also start an exercise. Choose exercise and proceed with selecting the sport mode.
