Watch Walks
Out now. About five minutes to your first kilometre.
Two quick steps, and your everyday walking starts carrying you up 43 km of Inca stone to Machu Picchu. For Forerunner, Fenix, Venu, Vivoactive, Epix, Instinct and other Connect IQ watches.
Set up your Garmin in three steps
Add the Inca Trail
The Inca Trail is free on the Connect IQ store. You'll need the free Garmin Connect app with your watch paired. Open the Connect IQ Store, search Watch Walks, and download it.
Get it on Connect IQOpen it on your watch
Sync your watch, then open Watch Walks once on the watch to start. On Garmin the watch only sends your steps to the trail while the app is open, so open it now and then to keep your progress up to date.
Garmin setup guideGet the companion (optional)
The free phone app turns your steps into a living map, opens a story at every landmark, and gives you a medal for each trail, reading straight from your watch over Bluetooth. It is out now on both stores, and the watch walks on its own whether you install it or not.
Companion on Google Play Companion on the App StoreWant every detail? See the full Garmin setup guide, or browse the Garmin questions.
Stuck? It's almost always one of these three.
- The app didn't appear on my watch. Open Garmin Connect and sync again. It installs on the next sync, and the watch needs enough free space.
- My progress looks behind. Open Watch Walks on the watch to send the latest steps, then sync the companion.
- Still stuck? Email watchwalksupport@gmail.com and we'll sort it out.
