Track back and Back to start

The track back and back to start navigational features both guide you back to the starting point of your session. Track back guides you back to your starting point via the same route you came whereas Back to start shows the direction to your starting point. Both features show the distance to the starting point of your session. With Track back you can also zoom in or out on the route.

Track back can be set on after starting a session and can be used only after you've gone far enough from your starting point. Back to start can be set on before the session has been started in the pre-training mode. The display then shows the distance and direction to your starting point throughout your training session. During a training session, both features can be accessed from the Map navigation view (if enabled in the sport profile you are using) and from Settings when the session is paused.

Note that GPS must be set on for the sport profile to be able to use these features.

To return to your starting point via beeline:

  • Keep your watch in a horizontal position in front of you.
  • Keep moving in order for your watch to determine which direction you are going. An arrow will point in the direction of your starting point.

When in unfamiliar surroundings, always keep a map at hand in case the watch loses the satellite signal or the battery runs out.
