We’ve all seen the beautiful topographic maps on the Fenix 8, but do you actually need them? Today I’m taking the Garmin Instinct 3 and the Fenix 8 out on a new trail to see how the routing experience differs in the real world.

What started as a mapping demo morphed into a comparison between the "Breadcrumb" style of the Instinct, the rich mapping of the Fenix, and the fallback of using a smartphone. I'll show you why the Instinct's high-contrast display might actually be easier to follow when you're moving fast, and where the Fenix 8 (and your phone) finally take the lead. If you’ve been on the fence about whether you need "real maps" on your wrist, this is for you.
