3.5. NAVIGATION MODE

You should use the Navigation mode when you have a pre-planned destination and you want to ensure that you will find it. The mode includes all the typical GPS functions related to routes and waypoints. You can create the routes and waypoints in this mode or on your PC and use them to guide you to your destination. The Navigation mode also shows you the distance, direction, estimated time of arrival and other essential information for all the waypoints of the selected route, and guides you back to your starting point.

The Navigation mode works together with the Activity mode, so even if you do not activate a route, for instance when running, the Navigation mode always shows you the distance and direction to the start.
