Use the navigation features on COROS watches

Once Start Course is selected, you will enter the navigation page. The starting location and your current location are marked separately on the page. Head to the starting location and follow the route. If you are deviated from the route for 20 meters / 65 feet and over 10 seconds, the off-route alert will kick in. If you can’t get back on course soon, the off-route alert will be triggered every minute.

Viewing mode

On the navigation tracking page, press the dial once to enter the viewing mode. A small +/- sign will show up on the right-hand side of the page. You can then zoom in/out by scrolling the dial. Press the BACK/LAP button to reset the scale to 100 feet or 25 meters.

COROS APEX Pro, APEX 2, APEX 2 Pro, VERTIX, and VERTIX 2 users can touch and drag the route on the screen to easily preview the rest of the route.

To exit the viewing mode, press the dial once. The +/- sign will also disappear.

You can scroll the dial to change the data pages only when you are not in the viewing mode. Press the dial on any other data pages except the navigation and elevation profile pages to pause the workout.

The watch will have a green arrow on all other data pages except the navigation and elevation profile pages. The arrow signifies where the trail is on the map in relation to your current location.
