      If suzzlo’s questions are answered, then maybe you are facing the route cache issue in the watch. Let say you are trying to navigate a route but the watch has another one in memory and try to lead you far away.
      If you just tap on navigation screen, do you see the whole route? And is your current GPS position far from that route your watch is showing?

        Before starting the navigation make sure route shape in watch navigation screen is the same as the route you’d like to follow. So far it’s buggy ie if route synchronisation did not complete for some reason.

          Thanks, I do get an image of the route but then quickly goes to just an arrow in middle of screen.

          Do you need to have your phone with you for the watch to follow a route?

                  @S-Boardman if you’re having a cache issue, create two or three routes named a, b, c and having a path looking like a letter a, b, c.

                  Sync first one with watch, wait until the map stops flashing in SA and you don’t see synchronisation marker on the watch.

                  Go to navigation, find the route, preview it - if it looks like the letter matching the name, you can create your desired route and sync as usual (let it sync, don’t use the app when it’s syncing, give it some time, around 20 seconds).

                  If the route preview on the watch doesn’t match the letter from synced route, try another one (b, then c, etc.) until the synced route matches the one in SA.

                          Ok done that. Sync 3 routes to watch. When preview on watch none of the 3 matched shape of the route.

                              @S-Boardman did they differ from each other? If they did, try some more until route shape in the watch matches the one you synced.

                                @S-Boardman OK so you should be good to go. Try creating an actual route and sync it. It’s shape should match the one sent from SA.

                                After you’re finished you can unsync the abc routes in SA (give it some time).

                                However don’t delete them from SA until you’re positive they’re gone from the watch.

                                  Generally with current firmware and SA versions this process is a little bit delicate but it works if done right.

                                      @S-Boardman you may need to recreate the routes from scratch and give them a new name.

                                        @Łukasz-Szmigiel thanks, ill keep trying. Do I need to have my phone with me whilst navigating a route?

                                          @S-Boardman no, certainly not. You need the phone only for syncing. If the route is in the watch (and it’s the correct one), you should be good to go.

                                          You may have more than one route stuck in watch memory so it might require some more trial and error. I think that the watch can store up to 15 routes so it shouldn’t be that hard to flush them.

                                          I’d recommend unsyncing everything so that you can see there are 0 routes in watch. Then, remove all of them from SA and start from scratch.

                                          Synchronize each one independently (click send to watch and wait until the map stops flashing and there’s no sync indicator on the watch face).

                                          You can also try reinstalling SA (or just remove all app data, relogin, etc.) if it won’t help.

                                          If all else fails - hard reset will remove all routes in the watch.
