Routing Settings

You can change the routing settings to customize the way the watch calculates routes for each activity.

NOTE: Not all settings are available for all activity types.

From the watch face, press Upper-right button, select Activities, select an activity, press Lower-left button, and select Activity Options > Routing.

Activity

Calculation Method

Sets the calculation method to minimize the time, distance, or ascent in routes.

Avoidances
