Using Waypoints and Navigation Data Fields on a Garmin Watch
Many Garmin watches that support courses have data fields that can display information on upcoming waypoints. Navigation data fields such as "Distance To Next" can show the remaining distance to the next waypoint in a course. Courses created on the watch using waypoints, and courses with Course Points can display waypoint information when using navigation data fields. For more information on types of data fields, and how to set up a data field for your specific watch, see your owner's manual.
To see if your watch supports courses, refer to
Creating a Course on the Watch
For watches that support courses, creating a course on the watch can vary by type. See Creating and Following a Course on Your Device in your owner's manual for instructions.

Waypoint Information is Wrong or Missing
If waypoints are saved or loaded to the watch and the course is created in the watch using those waypoints, then point to point navigation will be provided and the navigation data fields will show information for the next waypoint. If you are not seeing the information, here are some things to consider:
Routes created from waypoints in other programs, like Garmin Explore™ or BaseCamp™, will be converted to courses once they are sent to the watch and the waypoints will not be used when calculating any information. For example, the "Distance To Next" data field will simply display the distance remaining to the end of the course.
The watch needs to be actively navigating using a course. For specific steps on how to load a course to your watch, see Courses in your owner's manual.
