- A: AnswerThis Garmin does not have detailed maps as it is a simple black/white display (reminds me of Kindle paperwhite) but it will definitely link with GPS without a phone. It has a basic mapping/waypoint/back-trail function, but you won't be navigating on detailed color maps or anything.

- A: AnswerThe watch has a barometer for elevation. Its accuracy depends on calibration which is done automatically via gps at the beginning of an activity, or can be done manually (e.g., at known points). You can upload a breadcrumb/GPX trail, and there are various options for following a trail or navigating to a point, but there is not a full map on the watch.

The best smart watch I have ever bought!
My husband just loved it!! This type of watch is functional for people who work in rural areas where they can orient themselves using their GPS and compass system, as well as people who are interested in keeping track of their daily physical exercises. The battery life on this watch is phenomenal.

Impressive
A bit tough to get used to the navigation, however a rock solid watch. Lighter then expected and very easy to read and the app is extremely helpful to track just about anything.

So Much More Than a Watch
After retiring, I put away my watches for a few years. I was officially “off the clock”. But I found I was reaching for my iPhone multiple times during the day for emails, texts, weather, news ,etc. So for Christmas I received this Garmin Instinct “watch”. I soon realized calling it a watch was too limiting. With a quick glance at my wrist, I can check weather, texts, news, community alerts, personal health information, etc. It’s just so handy to have all this data readily available.
