Using the Up Ahead Feature on Garmin Watches
Up Ahead allows you to be better aware of important or relevant information coming up in a course. Select the dropdown below to see which watches are compatible with this feature.
Using the Up Ahead Data Screen
While navigation is active on the watch, a new Up Ahead data screen will be added to the activity data screens. Course information will be presented in a rolling list:
The information displayed on this screen will vary depending on the course, but some examples include:
Upcoming course points (water/aid stations and other user defined course points)
NOTE: These must be added to the course using Garmin Connect™
Upcoming distance/elevation
Upcoming turns
Performance metrics
Adding Course Points to a Course
If there are specific points that you want to be notified of on the Up Ahead screen, make sure to add them as "Course Points" when creating or editing your course. For steps on how to add a course point, see Using Course Points on a Garmin Fitness Device. The Up Ahead screen will not show in the activity unless you are navigating a course with course points.
