turn by turn ... A Major Letdown in Navigation
-
@thanasis as above. Just open the route, turn off guidance and it will resync.

@thanasis The right solution would be to continuously show the next turn at the bottom of the map the way Garmin does it. The distance remaining to the turn must continuously update. Then there may be an optional notification right at the turn, but it should be possible to turn the notification off.
In general notifications are hugely distracting when running on a technical terrain. I prefer to just keep the map open and glance on it from time to time, at least that is how I use navigation on Fenix. Navigation should be usable without notifications.
I still remember how angry I was at my Suunto 9 Baro which kept popping notifications about weak GPS signal during a race when I was super focused on running fast in the dark to the finish and not catching a root with my foot. I couldn’t spare even a second to slow down and discard the notification so it just kept obstructing the view of the data.

There are improvements coming asap

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
great to hear (read) that! -
@thanasis at least it should be better imo, but still far from perfection

Just wanted to add my disappointment with this as well, though it’s good to see there may be changes imminent.
I bought my Race S mainly for navigation and turn by turn, but it’s implementation is really poor, as you’ve all shared here. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

@Audaxjoe Hello How did you do to turn it off ?
and still see the nevigation ? did you used SNAP to ROUTE instead of ROUTE ? -
@Mister-PYC Disable the TBT toggle for the route in the App before syncing.
