## Questions & Answers

**Q: I do desert exploring on a polaris rzr. can i track my course while riding and then use it to return home the way i came?**
A: Yes, this function is available when set to a GPS activity. You can navigate back to the starting point of your current activity in a straight line or along the path you traveled

**Q: Does this watch have a great compass,a good one, or none at all? I bought it for my son for Christmas   the compass is an important feature for him???**
A: Good Compass but not great
Hold down on one of the buttons and the watch face becomes a compass.  It shows the degrees (0-360) and the general direction (SE for example).
You would not use this watch to plot a course on a map. For that, you can buy a compass for less than $20 that lie flat on a map, can be adjusted for a magnetic correction, they have lines, etc.

**Q: Can you download courses created from a 3rd party site as a .gpx or .tcx file? Or do you have to exclusively use Garmin Connect &/or Explore for that?**
A: For course creation other than Garmin Connect Garmin devices are compatible with Strava and Map My Run.

Thanks Jenny

**Q: I am looking for a wearble gps tracker we can use while hiking in rural areas.  does this provide an actual map or compass only directions?**
A: it has a breadcrumb style mapping and compass directions, and many other navigation features such as coordinates and projected waypoint, but it does not have preloaded topography or street maps
