- Say goodbye to getting lost and hello to stress-free hiking navigation
In this video, I will showcase how I set up and effortlessly navigate on hikes using Garmin Watches and OS Maps. It's a system I have been using for the past 16 months with my Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Solar Sapphire and and is a great option for both beginner and experienced hikers.
Alongside using it to hike all over the UK and abroad, It’s played a major part in my successful attempts of the Welsh 3000s, Snowdon 6 Challenge alongside my Welsh Three Peaks Cycle. The process also works on the new Garmin Fenix 8.

Brilliant video! Simple, effective, no fuss! Cheers Chris 👍🏼
Nice video
Great that it can alert you if you go off route. I do that all the time lol
O.S maps are superb and worth every penny! The ability to print out maps for the area I am walking in is such a bonus. It means that I can have a handy A4 map in my hand to navigate with with - contained in a plastic folder to protect it, but of course I always carry the full folded O.S map of the area in my backpack. Also the routes which others have done is a constant inspiration.
oh e mgee, that is amazing .I never knew about this... thanks
Amazing! Was wondering what the maps setting was on my Garmin 7S Saphire Solar - thanks for explaining, will look into this for upcoming hikes & possibly SUP sessions if it works on water? I’m pretty good at going off route 🙈 and “not” getting lost haha. Anna
Hi Chris,
Great video thanks. I've tried getting the 3D view on the app on my phone but can't seem to find it. Do you know if it is available on the phone app or just laptop/iPad?
Thank again
I believe its only available on the Website. They do have a unique Tabletop 3D feature which allows you to project a 3D map of the route onto a flat surface using your camera.
I finf outdoor active much better with far more routes
@@RamblingTog everyone’s got a preference, I’ve been using OS maps for years and had no issues with it.
