I have a etrex HCX loaded with autorouting maps. I go to Mapsource and using the waypoint creation tool, create A, B, C, D waypoints. Then I join them using the route create tool in the order A->B->C->D.
Then I transfer this route to my device and select the colour "white" for the route colour. I go to point A, select the above route and press "Navigate". It asks me for options - "off road" or "follow road". I select "off road" and the navigation begins.
Then I go on my bike to waypoint B and the device displays this route from A to B in "white" and the compass shows the correct bearing to waypoint B.
But once I cross waypoint B and move towards waypoint C, then 2 funny things happen:-
1. The route colour automatically changes to magenta
2. The compass bearing shows towards the direction of B and NOT towards C.
I have repeated this several times with different routes and always it happens that after the 2nd waypoint is passed, the colour of the route defaults to magenta and the compass shows bearing towards the 2nd waypoint irrespective of whether I have already crossed the 3rd or 4th or even reached the last waypoint.
Could someone let me know if I am making a mistake somewhere in route creation?
