AndyS May 2021 11:35am, 24 May 2021 327 posts	AndyS I use both miles and km. If it's in front of me, it's in miles - if it's behind me, it's in km. So at half-way, I've already done 21.1 and only have 13.1 to go. #JediMindTricks (I've also got pretty good at multiplying by 5/8 and 8/5 )

AndyS May 2021 11:48am, 24 May 2021 328 posts	AndyS So at half way, I've done 21.1 and only have 12.1 to go? Even better! #StrongWithThisOneIsTheForce

AndyS May 2021 8:34am, 26 May 2021 346 posts	AndyS Is there anyone that has a fenix5X could do me a favour? Hook it up to a computer running Garmin Express, click on "Map Details" and let me know what maps are listed there? I'm convinced some have gone missing on mine, but can't be sure...

It set it up by default (asking me for consent). Mile 5 of a 14 miler, think I'd stopped to take pics, watch buzzed a few mins later. Screen says "are you having an incident? Message will be sent in 5, 4, 3, ..." I managed to stop it sending out an alert to my In Case of Emergency ICE contact (my wife) with my co-ordinates etc. I've turned it off now. I was happy for the idea of it, but not if it's going to send out emergency messages when I stop to photograph (or water ) the primroses in a bog in a field! G
AndyS May 2021 12:43pm, 26 May 2021 347 posts	AndyS Thanks Gromit - I get a screen like this: "Map Details" is just below the "You're up to date!" message. When I click on it, I get this: (Garmin support don't seem to know what maps should be there...)
