To start the APP is a great idea and something that IMHO Garmin should provide by default on their high end watches if they want to be able to compete better with the iWatch and similar devices I bought the APP to support the development but I don't usually use it because of the high battery drainage (see below) PROs 1) Good for turn-by-turn directions for finding your way on a city 2) Allows following a GPX track where you can zoom in and out which I use for short MTB rides 3) Great progress with the companion cell phone APP that now allows more functionality CONs 1) Battery drains 2-3x faster than with the regular Garmin Bike profile. It almost drained completely my 920XT on a 5h bike ride (I usually get at least 11h using GPS with the Garmin Outdoor Bike profile) 2) Interface is not very intuitive (always forget how to switch between map and data screens) 3) Warnings are kind of annoying and it is not clear how I can turn them off while I am in the middle of a ride I used this for a couple of fundraiser rides of around 60 miles and I got several warnings while following a small road Things like OFF ROUTE and TURN LEFT/RIGHT when the road had a sharp curve Overall I think it is a great APP that can be very useful for finding your way on a city or for following a GPX track Just ensure your watch battery is fully charged and don't expect to get more than 5h out of it

This is great app! Thank you very much for your development. I got premium version! I have some requests below. - Vibration for crosspoint. When I am riding a bike, I can not keep checking the next intersection. - Large size text of Time of Today. I don't need the second.

I wouldn't say it turned my Vivoactive 3 into a poor man's fenix 5x but it works great and is much easier to navigate with than using my fenix 2. I would like to see more options for the data fields and Tempe support but I really don't have any complaints. Support is excellent.

Installed this app last Monday evening. Since then, daily steps, sleep stats, intensity minutes, etc—literally all of my data—stopped syncing with Garmin Connect. The only thing that came across were actual recorded activities. I attempted to manually sync from Garmin Connect mobile app and via USB without success. I uninstalled dwMap and synced and the current day's data appeared. Prior days seem to be lost. They appear on the watch display but are not syncing to Garmin Connect.

Excellent app, great customer support. However, it would be great for the distance and pace displayed on the map page to be of larger font for us middle aged people.

Love the premium addition of a navigation page and the maps (while connected via bluetooth to the phone) are a great help to avoid navigating errors while just following the line. The map is much more useful than I thought.

Wszystko działa na moim vivoactive 3, można wczytać utworzoną mapę i bec po śladzie albo zboczyć z kursu i wrocić. Jedyny mankament to to że nie można pomniejszyć mapy (tylko do zoom 1, nie ma zoom 0, -1, -2 ) więc jak się odbiegnie za daleko to nie widać jak wrócić nie biegnąc tą samą drogą. Ale mimo to to świetna aplikacja bardzo intuicyjna

Really cool app, especially if you have one of the watches supporting background maps with premium account. Makes it so much easier to run routes you never ran before. Support is great as well, I got my question answered the same day.

This is a great app with lots of options. You don't need to purchase a handheld GPS device if you are using this app in conjunction with a map and compass. No other app comes close to providing this type of functionality. The only thing I would live to see in future updates is an option to have OS Grid Referencing (GB) instead of longitude and latitude coordinates. Overall it is definitely worth downloading and purchasing.

Besides being my favorite App that gets better and better (if at al possible) with every update, I also had a fantastic support from customer service when I had a problem with my settings (I actually was the 'slow' person in replying to them. Thanks to Marcus and the entire team!

Works like a charm on first try on vivoactive3. Would be good to have month trial for full version ... to taste full cake ;-)

Hello! I have a question about Garmin 3 HR. Whether it will be possible to Using the Background Maps soon? Thanks!

Hi, I would like to write my question/suggestion here. As fenix 5 supposedly has memory problems for storing maps and maps are not supported, I guess your app works by not storing map data on fenix 5 but instead it overwrites data when generating new background map image (which phone downloads from internet). But if that is the case, why isn't it possible to make an application which would have the possibility to download and import high detail map onto your phone and store it for offline use, then do the same thing - send background images (of small size) to fenix 5/5S. That way we could have maps on our fenix 5/5S and we would need only our phones (with bluetooth connection) which would serve as offline maps storage and map background image generator. Just like that we could have proper navigation with maps only depended on gps. I would like to know if it is possible? (PS I wrote the same thing on routeCourse app)

Fantastic app. Very powerful. Installed 2 days ago so I'll update later. I use it for bike touring, on a vivoactive HR. The watch is more energy efficient, the display more readable in direct sunlight, and the device more rugged than a phone. Courses are easy to design with a phone, and transferred to the watch as needed, using their phone app. Support is incredible.

I live this app! I find it so easy to use. Love that my Garmin 230 and 235 watches could give me directions, so I don’t get lost. I’ve used it all over the world, Tenerife, Mallorca, South Africa... It works perfectly. Their support is super quick too, if you have any questions, just ask and they reply promptly!
