Sigh May 2021 8:56am, 21 May 2021 9,331 posts	Quote Pin Sigh This might be old news, but I've just uploaded a route from GC to my watch (FR245) for the first time in a while, and the menu settings have changed. To locate it, rather than being under "Run - Options - Courses" it's now under "Run - Options - Race an Activity - Downloaded". Just FYI.
AndyS May 2021 9:17am, 21 May 2021 317 posts	Quote Pin AndyS I don't know if it's related Sigh, but on my Fenix 5X has two distinct options: "Navigation->Courses" lets you follow a course "Training->Race an Activity" lets you follow a course and also shows how far ahead/behind you are from the saved activity.

MisterTea May 2021 9:42am, 21 May 2021 5,797 posts	Quote Pin MisterTea My 245 started asking me this last week about how hard I found a workout and how I felt - with little face icons to choose from. It doesn't seem to do it for an easy run. Is that a new thing? Or is it asking for another reason?
Sigh May 2021 9:45am, 21 May 2021 9,334 posts	Quote Pin Sigh The self-evaluation has been on GC for a while, if you edit an activity: I think they've just added it to the watch menu as well now. I shall continue to ignore it, probably.

Badger May 2021 12:09pm, 21 May 2021 13,875 posts	Quote Pin Badger Being able to do it from the watch is a new thing in the 245 firmware, along with I think the 745 and 945 for now. Probably end up on the Fenix 6 units soon.
Welshpoppy May 2021 12:28pm, 21 May 2021 985 posts	Quote Pin Welshpoppy But not Fenix 5 Badger, as I think you mentioned they stopped adding new updates to it?
Badger May 2021 1:33pm, 21 May 2021 13,876 posts	Quote Pin Badger Yup, it's getting a few fixes but no new features to speak of so I wouldn't expect this to show up.
