The Garmin Enduro 3 introduces several notable navigation features designed to enhance the experience for outdoor enthusiasts. Here are the key new navigation functionalities:
- Dynamic Round-Trip Routing: This feature allows users to set a target distance for their activity (running, hiking, or biking), and the watch will automatically generate a route that adjusts in real-time to ensure the user returns to the starting point within the specified distance, even if they stray off course[1][4].
- NextFork Map Guide: This tool provides information about the distance to the next intersection and displays trail names, making it easier for users to navigate unfamiliar trails[2][3].
- Turn-by-Turn Directions: Users can follow detailed turn-by-turn directions on courses created in Garmin Connect, enhancing route navigation during activities[2][3].
- Active Navigation Menu: While navigating a course or waypoint, users can access a new 'Active Navigation' menu system that streamlines navigation options[1].
- Preloaded TopoActive Maps: The Enduro 3 comes with preloaded topographic maps from around the world, which are essential for outdoor exploration and navigation[3][4].
These features collectively aim to provide a more intuitive and efficient navigation experience for ultrarunners, hikers, and adventure racers using the Enduro 3.
