      I was out on a hike and noticed at one point that the turn indicator shows a sharp right rather than the left that it should be. The course was created directly in the Suunto app on iOS. The watch has software version 2.37.34 on it.

        Are you navigating in the same direction the route was created or reverse?
        Just asking.
        How is it looking like in the app itself?

          @Mff73 Going in the direction the route was created with. Looking at the route on the App it shows the same thing.

            so i would assume it is more an app issue than watch one : icon is selected from routing engine.

                  @jumpysprinkles Was it an out-and-back route? Did you return on the same trail? I’ve noticed that in this case, the return direction arrow will display on top of the out direction arrow, so it’ll look wrong on the way out. Although in your case, I suppose that would be a slight right arrow, not the sharp right displayed in your photo.

                    Anecdotally, Garmin, Wahoo, and Karoo will all tell me, sometimes, to turn left when it’s clearly a right turn, or to take the wrong number of exits on a roundabout. I’ve noticed it when driving with Google and Apple Maps, too: I think we as a species have not learned how to correctly explain turn directions.
