Race day ready:

Navigate with ease:

No matter where the next adventure leads, epix Pro Series includes premium mapping features to help explorers stay on track. SatIQ™ technology and multi-band signal reception combined with multi-GNSS provide superior positioning accuracy in challenging environments – all while optimizing battery life. Available on epix Pro Sapphire Editions, preloaded TopoActive maps provide multi-continent mapping from around the world to keep explorations on track. With an Outdoor Maps+ subscription (sold separately), users will receive premium mapping content, like satellite imagery, right on their watch. Before heading out, adventurers can create or find existing courses in Garmin Connect™ and seamlessly sync them to their watch, or, while out exploring, can use epix Pro Series to create round-trip routes on local paths using Trendline™ popularity routing. Plus, the bright AMOLED display makes these features pop – providing very detailed and easy to interpret maps so adventurers can make informed decisions.
