    This was an absolutely excellent video! Well done and thank you for making this so easy. This is exactly what I was looking for and as a value add you showed me how use the hot key to be able to retrieve the location without going through maps or a lot of menus! Perfect!

    Brilliant video buddy. Been trying to sort my fenix 6x Pro for nav for ages! This video is spot on and really easy to follow!

    Save location is really handy. Track back too on my Fenix 5 from 2017 I think. Saved me couple times.

    This is the video I needed! I have been trying to understand how to enter a 6 figure grid reference into my fenix and finally, I understand. The 10 figures in the way the watch displays is quite confusing. But at least I know. I'm guessing that you use the first 3 for 6 figures and then the 4 for 8 figures and so on.

      Hi thank you, yes we use the first 3 from each line for a 6 figure and first 4 from each line for an 8 figure, please that the video helped , Kind regards Outdoor GPS Shop

    Very informative video Andy ; could you help me do the same setup for British Grid for Forerunner 55 watch?

    • @ukgpstraining
      @ukgpstraining  Рік тому

      Sadly we don’t have any Forerunners to make a video with as Garmin class us as an outdoor retailer/ trainer.
      Please accept my apologies.

    Thank you the video. Can I enter coordinates to navigate me anywhere in the world? For example I've got a trip to the Sahara desert where there is no data connection or Internet can I use the watch to guide to my destination?

    • @ukgpstraining
      @ukgpstraining  Рік тому

      You can change the Fenix 7 watch to a number of different position formats not just British Grid that we use in the UK, this link to Garmin's website shows the options support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=lvWzTYlPsx6BvUDTyKfqC8&identifier=865945&tab=topics you can then mark a waypoint on your watch at where you are and then select edit and edit the location grid to one you want to navigate to, kind regards

    I tend to use Explorer, rather than Landranger.
    Is there a way to display the appropriate reference for these.
    Or, am I being a muppet. 👍🏻

    • @ukgpstraining
      @ukgpstraining  2 роки тому +1

      The grid reference on both Landranger maps and Explorer maps are the same.

    What are the last 2 digits
    NU 32 and BNG 92

    • @ukgpstraining
      @ukgpstraining  2 роки тому

      Sorry a little confused by your question.
      A grid reference it made up of x 3 elements -
      Two letters - eg NU (which tells you which 100km x 100km it is)
      Then two sets of x 5 numbers (Easting and Northings)
      BNG stands for - British National grid i.e. the watch is set up to show a British grid ref.
      I hope this helps.
