- What is the Coros Apex 2?

There has been a large software update in the past week which includes turn by turn routing and the ability to put a picture/ logo on the watch screen, anything else? Sign up to Beta on www.coros.com select Support – software updates – august beta updates for signup instructions.

- Turn-by-Turn Navigation - *BETA ONLY

Turn-by-Turn Navigation is available for you to test on your compatible COROS watch, helping you navigate with confidence wherever you are. Save any route in the COROS app and sync it directly to your watch to be notified of upcoming turns on your route automatically.

There will be a limited number of available testing slots based on the workload our support/product teams can handle (~500 users).

We expect the public beta to run 3-6 months, and once it is ready we will push to all global users with an update.
