Bearing navigation

Bearing navigation is a feature that you can use outdoors to follow the target path for a location you see or have found on a map. You can use this feature stand alone as a compass or together with a paper map.

If you set the target distance and altitude while setting the direction, your watch can be used to navigate to that target location.
