Round-Trip Courses

Some devices feature the ability to create round-trip courses. When creating a round-trip course on a device, you enter the distance you would like the course to be and the device provides nearby course options that are similar to that distance. Round-trip courses are designed to bring you back to your starting point after completing the course. Refer to Round-Trip Courses in your owner's manual for steps on creating them. 

Some newer Garmin watches utilize Dynamic Round Trip Routing which will adapt and adjust your turn-by-turn guidance as you go, even if you deviate from the original course. To see if your watch is compatible with this feature refer to your owner's manual. For more information on this feature see our Garmin Technology page on Round-Trip Routing.
