Hi Leadershipcamp,

My Forerunner was doing the same thing as you describe and I managed to fix it - possibly try this - it might work for you too!

https://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/case.faces?caseId={595c5ee0-6adf-11dd-436f-000000000000}

To show the navigational compass:

Hold GPS
Select Back To Start or Go To Location
The display will now show direction and distance to the destination

To stop the watch from navigating:

Press the lap/reset button
Select Stop

The device will now return to normal operation.

I displayed the compass then pressed the 'lap/reset' button. Then I selected 'stop route' and it returned to normal.

Hope it helps!! Lisa
