Garmin instinct "sight n’ go" navigation feature review. Stay on course anywhere!

[@michaelsly267]

My wife just got me this for xmas. This is the most high tech badass watch. Feels like getting my first iPhone.

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi Michael, that is really well said! I completely agree and really appreciate you taking the time to leave a positive comment. I hope you have a great day! Let me know if you have any questions about the watch. It can do so much!

[@CuttinChris]

Holy crap this feature is going to be amazing while doing prescribed burns as a wildland firefighter. We have to shoot a visual bearing and walk straight lines through the forest best we can so that we can keep spacing from the previous burner to keep an even and straight controllable grid. This is great!

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi Chris, I’m really glad to hear it! I love this feature, and hope it serves you well. Thanks for what you do as a firefighter. I appreciate you taking time to leave a positive comment, and hope you have a great day!

[@pokey5428]

Thanks for the shout out. Yes, this is my favorite nav tool when hunting. I shoot a line of "march" when up high in my climbing stand. Then when I get down below the tree canopy, I can wonder all about while tracking blood sign, and know I'll always know which way is out.

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Absolutely Pokey! I appreciate your support of the channel. That is an awesome use for the sight n go functionality for sure. I hope you have a great day boss!

[@artcantulaw]

When you shoot the asmith how far is the point away. Is there like a Lazer feature? I'm new to this, how does the watch know where you are pointing?

[@rubio.laureano]

Hi my man! I don''t usually leave comments but your wholesomeness and great info made me want to say thanks and sub to the channel. I've watched almost all your videos about the Instinct and i learnt a lot of things. Keep up the good work and let's get 2k subs! Cheers!

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi Laureano, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a positive comment and support the channel. The world needs more people like you! Thank you for your support and I hope you have a great day!

[@nanthilrodriguez]

how far out does it target your azimuth? Because obviously that will vary wildly if the target of your azimuth is 10 ft away or 1000

[@mvg2x34]

Great series. I just got an insight and even though its already older gen product I love it so much more than both fitbit and applewatch. This series is helping get so much more out of the device.

[@MakingTracks]

Very kool feature. I’ll have to watch this vid again and try this out! Thanks man!

[@LiquidColourDesignBallycarry]

How do you adjust the distances in sign n go.?

[@philoc.7834]

Great video, thanks for explaining! One thing I'd like to know: Is the line that is created inifite or does it have a certain length?

[@rudycavazos]

Thanks for the video, very useful. I just ordered an instinct tactical. Should be getting it in a few days.

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi Rudy, you are very welcome! Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive comment, and I hope you have been enjoying your instinct!

[@billliggan4276]

I am trying to figure out how to get distance to a waypoint along a course instead of the distance by dead reckoning.

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi Bill, that is a good skill to have. I hope you have a great day!

[@misutatomasu]

"I'll show you, i'll show you" bro just do it, you are killing me.

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Thanks for the feedback misutatomasu, and sorry about that! I hope you have a great day!

[@Smoky_Crow]

Great, now you made him feel bad.

[@GUZZINATION]

Pussy

[@rustymacshackleford6276]

This is incredibly handy. A game changer. This watch will save lives!

[@JasonFerguson1283]

That's a freakin; great feature!!

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi Jason, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a positive comment. The world needs more people like you, and I hope you have a great day!

[@FT4Freedom]

This is a return to azimuth feature. It's not exactly returning to a forward way point. The entire sight line is the anchor.

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

Kinda works like getting back in a straight line to the point where an activity started, correct?

[@fafamaite6409]

Hello thank you for this video. I was looking for this feature for a long time. unfortunately this option is only available on certain watches, not on my garmin forerunner 255 gps

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi Fafa Maite, thank you for taking the time to leave a positive comment. I really appreciate it and am sorry your forerunner does not have this option. I hope you have a wonderful day!

[@_______NoComment..............]

Thanks for the help😊 By the way: don't you knowhow can i change the distance of the object in sight n go?

[@jayloiselle9281]

Is it true that you have to have the garmin app open and running when you are using your watch?

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi Jayloiselle, thank you for your question. That is actually NOT true and is one of the benefits of using a Garmin over an Apple Watch. The instinct can operate 100% free of a phone. I’d be honored with your subscription if you haven’t already and hope you have a great day!

[@adamkreuz9068]

Damn I wish I had this back on the land nav course way back when

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Haha, I hear you Adam! I'd be honored with your subscription, especially since it sounds like you are a veteran. I hope you have a great day!

[@zodz3]

Thanks!

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Absolutely Zodz3, I hope you have a great day!

[@emveeay]

Thank you!

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Thank you emveeay! I appreciate you taking time to leave a positive comment. I would be honored with your subscription if you haven't already. I hope you have a great day!

[@jacksonfilm]

Very handy.

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Thanks, I think so too!

[@gantfrost7749]

Your video would have been better if you did the whole procedure from the start while you were outside, how to point the watch to get a sight, and then how to follow it. And also make sure we can see whitch buttons you are pushing.

[@JayDee-xj9lu]

Is this watch touch screen. Is it worth buying the solar? Thank you.

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi Jay, great questions! This watch is not touch screen, and with the drop in price for the solar version - I would recommend getting that, although you can't go wrong with the regular like I have either. I hope that helps and I would be honored with your subscription if you have not already. Have a great day!

[@JayDee-xj9lu]

@@CoastieOutdoors It's a shame they haven't invented monochrome like feature in color. I used to have a Garmin vivoactive with monochrome but it's a very bland looking watch. But I've since bought a vibrant screen watch but I hate having to flick my wrist and waiting for the screen to light up. Guess I'll wait and see what next. The Trex looks good with a always on screen.

[@peacefuljeffrey]

@@CoastieOutdoors I’ve had my G.I.T.S. for a couple of years now. I haven’t ever really used it much at all for GPS or navigation. I’ve noticed that the solar charging aspect of the watch does not come anywhere near to keeping the watch at a full charge-even though I have a lot of functionality disabled (such as Bluetooth) to save battery life. Is that your experience with this watch? Is the solar charging function there merely to slow the draining of the battery, and is it not even intended to be able to truly charge the watch back up?

[@peacefuljeffrey]

D’oh! I just realized that you said that you don’t have the solar version. So the question is open to anyone who does. Thanks.

[@ganbatte1260]

how did u put the distance? should i use the phone?

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi Richard, thank you for your question and support of the channel. for sight n' go the distance is automatically put in at 50 miles. If you hold the GPS in the top right, you can mark a location along your sight and put in the distance that way on your watch without needing your phone. I hope that helps! I would be honored with your subscription if you haven't already, and hope you have a great day!

[@gringoconcursando]

Hello! Is this the instinct 1?

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi Ulises Cuesta, yes this is the instinct 1. Would you like videos about the instinct 2? I am considering upgrading

[@TheMrpogi31]

What app this use for the watch?

[@abghg66777]

I wish they will upgrade the instinct 2 solar build for stainless steel buttons and back opened with small screws and stainless Basel in the front. Like the Casio Potrek prw 3100 which has great case . The solar is huge since as a normal watch you do not have to use external charger which is a major major major yes why to buy it instead of the solar protrek. If Garmin will copy the Casio protrek prw 3100 case to the instinct 2 solar you will get the best army watch . People then will go with Garmin instead of Casio leaving Polar and Sunto field watches far being also in regard to casing durability . Today the opening of the Garmin instinct 2 is not very nice since there are no screws . Though no one will probably open a solar watch still it is nice to know it has screws for opening as a standard .

[@feralshad0w]

Is this just an infinite straight line? or do you choose a distance in that direction?

[@PopularSafo]

@feralshad0w "Sight N Go" just creates an invisible never-ending line

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi @feralshad0w, thank you for your comment. Yes, it creates an infinite straight line.

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Thank you @Marek! You are absolutely correct. I hope you have a great day

[@calebmote1133]

Very helpful. You definitely mean "azimuth," however.

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi Caleb, haha I absolutely did and appreciate the positive comment. I hope you have a great day!

[@Rpalacios29623]

is this the proper feature to get back to my vehicle after a foot pursuit in the woods? I'm a police officer

[@Cinox5012]

If you long press the gps button you can save a waypoint and then navigate back to it😀

[@kenneth6847]

Can you do sight and go while you have bread crumbs running?

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi Kenneth, that is a great question. I will try it out and let you know

[@seakyle8320]

@@CoastieOutdoors still no answer?

[@nickrussett259]

Hey I'm in Baltimore county

[@timstevens5178]

Returned mine, battery was terrible.

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hi Tim, I am sorry to hear that! You may be able to get a replacement from Garmin, or try the instinct 2 that has a better battery life. I hope you have a great day!

[@dangerpudge1922]

Pronounced AZ-E-MUTH

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Haha, thank you Danger Pudge. Others commented on my pronunciation as well, and I have tried to change it since then. Thanks for the comment and for keeping me honest. I hope you have a great day!

AziMUTH, not aziMISS

Hi ChadatWork, thank you for that! You are absolutely right. I would be honored with your subscription if you haven't already, and hope you have a great day!

[@morjhult666]

I dont love the part when it requires me to shoot an assmess

Hahahahahaha, oh my gosh Jakob, you made my day. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I would be honored if you considered subscribing and commenting on more videos. I hope you have a great day!

[@peacefuljeffrey]

“Azimuth,” not “azimuss.”

[@CoastieOutdoors]

Hahaha, there have been a couple others mentioned my pronunciation. You are right :) Thank you, and have a great day!
