Sigh
This might be old news, but I've just uploaded a route from GC to my watch (FR245) for the first time in a while, and the menu settings have changed.

To locate it, rather than being under "Run - Options - Courses" it's now under "Run - Options - Race an Activity - Downloaded".

Just FYI.

I don't know if it's related Sigh, but on my Fenix 5X has two distinct options:

"Navigation->Courses" lets you follow a course

"Training->Race an Activity" lets you follow a course and also shows how far ahead/behind you are from the saved activity.

Thanks, AndyS - yes, I've found that now, thanks to your post. Much appreciated!

My 245 started asking me this last week about how hard I found a workout and how I felt - with little face icons to choose from. It doesn't seem to do it for an easy run. Is that a new thing? Or is it asking for another reason?

The self-evaluation has been on GC for a while, if you edit an activity:



I think they've just added it to the watch menu as well now. I shall continue to ignore it, probably.

Being able to do it from the watch is a new thing in the 245 firmware, along with I think the 745 and 945 for now. Probably end up on the Fenix 6 units soon.

But not Fenix 5 Badger, as I think you mentioned they stopped adding new updates to it?

Yup, it's getting a few fixes but no new features to speak of so I wouldn't expect this to show up.

yep, noticed that in the 945 as well. I'm using it for now, but I may turn it off if I get bored!
