Navigation and pausing
-
@sky-runner The times are shown in the S+ app so you can have cumulative times in aid. I personally use it after the race as I try to be in and out of aid as quickly as possible.
-
@maszop What are the drawbacks? I thought if you just use it as a button its the same like the middle button on Vertical. Or is it not?
-
@VoiGAS Several layers of clothing, thick gloves, etc. Buttons are much more practical in this case.
-
@maszop So the buttons on the Vertical are working different than the ones of the Race? Sorry, I never used a Vertical and really don’t know

the point is, that with a rotating crown, the crown is used exclusively to zoom the map.
Something pretty much impossible, in winter with multiple sleeves and gloves. So the map will either zoom unintentionally from contact with clothes or difficult to operate with gloves.
So me and others cannot use the crown in these cases and prefer a button-only watch. -
Hi I have just got my first vertical 2 watch. I am very pleased it - the gps looks really good. I use it for hiking and I am not sure about the button sequence for finishing a route! Currently I go into Hiking mode find my route and press start. I really like the map view and it seems to be very accurately recording my track as I hike the route. But to end and save the activity - that I have not done. I have tried all the button combinations but only succeeded in discarding everything.
I have read this thread and get an idea that it’s something to do with the middle button presses to get you past the elevation screen - but then what? If there’s a good link to an idiot’s guide that would great - the user manual is good for the overview but some of the detail seems hard to find!
Just a quick list to the button presses would be very much appreciated! Thanks. -
@feh123 just upper button then choose between end (again upper button) or pause (top down button). Just before switch to some other watch face then map view
-
@tomahawk5000 thanks! So just to check - use middle button to get past elevation screen and then press upper button and I get to the pause or end screen. Do you think on ending it will save my track? Thanks again.
-
@feh123 yes it will save your track just read the message on the screen

@tomahawk5000 Great - thanks.
