Not sure if you guys are familiar with this:
I have just been playing with what 3 words. If you look up a location on your smart phone and click on 'Navigate', you get the option to send the data to Garmin drive. With the XT switched on with a signal, the unit then starts to navigate to the location. I thought it was not working whilst indoors - I went outside & got a gps signal & the XT started navigating to the location & stored the coordinates in history.

When I try that, Garmin Drive isn’t an option.
Not sure why not.

Maybe it's an 'Android' thing, I am using it on a Huawei.

It's great to hear that What3Words integrates so smoothly with the Garmin Drive app! The seamless transfer of location data to the Garmin XT is impressive, especially how it stores coordinates in history. This functionality can be a real game-changer for precise navigation, even in challenging environments.

Sadly, this feature no longer works. I think Garmin removed the feature some months ago when they updated the Drive app - a real shame.

What 3 Words works for me on my S23 and XT press navigate in What 3 Word and choose Drive and I get the opportunity to send it to device.
