Tres bonne idée, mais ... L'application Android est devenue payante d'un coup. Attendons le développement d'un autre freeware.

Hi Peter! If it doesn't work, please activate Maps notifications: Open “Navigation Watch” on your phone, go to "Open Troubleshooting Guide", then click “Activate Maps Notifications” and activate Maps notifications. Also try starting a Maps navigation on your phone and then open the 'Navigation' app on your watch. Or email us via [email protected]

INSTINCT CROSSOVER剩餘距離顯示會被指針檔到。

March 15, 2023 | Version 4.6.5

Overall does what it is supposed to, but sometimes it is behind the phone, and you may miss a turn because the watch hasn't update yet Cannot see if you can make the two synchronize at different interwalls Good part, doesn't drain the battery, so overall satisfied

Hello, good idea and application. Everything seems to work fairly well on my instinct 2 crossover, however the display is not adapted to this watch as the distance to next turn etc is hidden by the watch needles, as they go in their default horizontal line position. A fix / option for this watch would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The app does what promises, though there is some room for improvement. 1. Estimated arrival time and current time are VERY small, almost impossible to read on 1.4 inch screen (on ENDURO 1 the font is not even close to the snapshots). Can you make fonts bigger? 2.the watches are not vibrating, even if it's turned ON in app's settings. Can you advice why the watch doesn't vibrate?

Not recommended for Instinct 2. Developer doesnt seem to care to add proper working support.

Hi Niki, the app received an update for the Instinct 2 interface a few months ago. If it still doesn't look properly, please send me a photo so I can see to [email protected] The app sometimes doesn't open automatically on the watch because the connection then is broken. Unfortuneately there's not much we can do about this, however, if you start the app manually it will work.

Please optimize for Instinct 2 interface and offer one time purchase lifetime subscription option. Also it doenst open automatically when you start maps. Good concept but doesnt work very well.

It displays the directions fine - although I am using it on my Garmin 530 cycling computer (noted compatible device) but you can't start an ride whilst it's running making it useless for ride directions

Love this app . Using on epix 2 . Also bought the full version. Not giving 5 stars as once you start the maps , although it automatically asks to start the app on the watch but you always have to agree on the watch. There is an option that say always but even when you click that it still asks the next time when you turn on navigation. Nothing to worry but I wish this settings would get saved.

Hi Robert, sorry for the issue. The watch stores details about the crash. Could you send me the following file or its contents from the watch after a crash? You can open the file after connecting it to the computer: E:GARMINAPPSLOGSCIQ_LOG.YML Please send it to [email protected] so we can fix the issue.
