@giulio Not sure how much battery would routing burn, probably quite some.

We don’t have this on the phone app either do we? I expect it would be more logical to introduce it there first. I’m guessing it’s actually quite complicated to implement.

@aleksander-h routing is in the app for route creation.

Routing, but not auto-routing though?

[isazi]

@aleksander-h you click on points, the app automatically routes you between them. That’s auto routing. I guess you mean something like re-routing, i.e. routing you back to route if you are off route, and the phone does not do that because you don’t use it for navigation.

@isazi
I spoke of auto routing knowning a destination and on the fly and without internet
Excuse my english…

@isazi Ah, misunderstanding on my part then. Not sure what Garmin calls it, but on my Fenix I can specify that I want to go for a 5 km circular run, and it will generate a run for me which I can then follow. That’s the kind of functionality I thought we were talking about.

@isazi
But for that you need an internet connection

[giulio]

@aleksander-h
Yes,you understand what i would say

[isazi]

@aleksander-h that’s a feature that Strava does better than Garmin actually. Anyway, I request it in every survey. But not for the watch, I want it on the app.

@isazi agree with you there. Many more users would benefit if it gets built into the phone app.
