Heritage Compass — select, read and navigate to places

Tap a main-screen row to select it. Hold that row to select it and open its actions. In Places to Explore, tapping or holding a row opens its actions. Swipe vertically to scroll lists, or use UP/DOWN. On watches without touch, use UP/DOWN to select, START to open actions and MENU for controls including Refresh view and zoom. BACK returns.

Open on watch: loads a short Wikipedia introduction. This is a bounded summary, not the full article.

Open on phone: sends the Wikipedia link through Garmin Connect.

Show on map: available on supported map-capable models. Displays a temporary pin inside the app’s native Garmin map view. Closing this view removes that temporary marker; it does not save a waypoint.

Start walk to: available where the watch supports saved waypoints. Saves or reuses an app-owned location named HC- followed by the Wikipedia page ID, then hands over to Garmin. The watch may ask you to choose an activity such as Walk. Confirm and start it using Garmin’s controls. Routing and available maps depend on your model, firmware and map installation; launching an activity does not itself prove that guidance is active. The saved location can remain in Garmin Saved Locations.

Navigate on phone: sends the destination to Apple Maps or Google Maps, according to the app setting. Follow the phone’s prompts to start directions.

Add/remove favourite: keeps up to 10 places in the app. Favourites do not create Garmin map pins or saved waypoints.
