Great video! Most people just talk about the features without the real-world demonstration. Videos like this are so much more useful. Thanks!

I did not know that Garmin can do this. Most people just show off all the bells and whistles of some smart watches. This is a really useful feature that is well explained. Glad YouTube recommended this video and channel.

Thanks. I have never seen this feature explained in a YouTube video before. BTW, this feature is also on the Forerunner 945/945LTE.

[OlegShumihin]

thanks a lot! i finally understood why 80km there and what off-course means

[scottmuessig]

I have been viewing your Tactix videos today, getting my Delta tomorrow! Thanks for all the work!!

Thank you! I've always wondered how the hell that is used! A useful tool, now I know what it does and how two use it! 😀

Hi. Great video. Which data screen you use for showing 8 fields? Is it custom? Which one? Thx!

[maumor]

Is there a way to change the default setting for the range on Sight and go? (50 miles or 80 kilometers) I use this feature a lot trekking unmarked terrain but never EVER have had the need to go 50 miles

[HaraldHofer]

IMHO this feature only makes sense in woods/etc without known paths, at least not known to Garmin.
Or, if the point I want to go to has no features that I can identify on the map.
In that cases: great!
Other than that I would always mark the point on the map and let the system guide me...

thank you for this video. I was looking for this feature for a long time. unfortunately this option is only available on certain watches, not on my garmin forerunner 255 gps😭

Great Video!! ❤❤

BUT AINT NO MONTAINE HIGH ENOUGH

[artcantulaw]

You didn't give details on how to point the watch. So does the angle of the watch change the target distance?

[Hills]

I haven't tried this in the real world yet (I just got my watch) and I was wondering if the watch "knows" that you've passed your destination point you referenced? If not, then it's great for a straight line, but not so much for an actual location, right?

[ButchCassidyAndSundanceKid]

How do you set the projected distance i.e. dist rem ?

[juancarrasco]

I have tactix 7 pro. But I don't see that option on the clock.

Instead of Sight and Go, is there a means to follow via breadcrumbs, to return to the very spot you started from as you walked along the lake? Lets assume you were lost and it was dark and storm, does the device provide a compass and permits you to return from your breadcrumbs? Thank you

[Craigo]

Rumour has it he is at mile 75 of the journey to the montane

[microsnook]

I just don't understand how this feature can be useful?

[NegyedMisi]

I have a Forerunner 945 and it has the same feature. I never knew how this feature works but I don't think it works how you demonstrate it, sorry. I think this feature is gimmick. I have no clue in what angle you should point the watch and that is the point. What if I point it too low? Will it pick a point 40 meters in front of me? No. If I shoot too high?
Imagine there was no route that direction in your example. You'd never reach you target. It showed 80 kilometers and you just walked knowing there'd be a trail. You were off track compared to the watch's straight line suggestion. So the watch did not navigate you, you navigated the watch. Don't get me wrong, the video is ok but it doesn't explain this feature. My problem is how do you know
