True comparison of regular running routes

Hi all,

I was hoping that someone a tad cleverer than myself would be able to help me.

I have a Garmin device to log my runs and I love it, the problem is that if I run a route which I know to be 5K and have it saved as a course, how do I get my pace and speed to display correctly once uploaded? Rather than based on whatever distance my Garmin device has decided my regular 5K route is today.

I understand that satellite connection via a GPS device is not completely accurate and I accept it, but what on earth is the point of assigning a course to your run if the pace and distance data is not recalculated based on your saved course rather than the sketchy mapping by GPS that day.

I find the whole thing very infuriating!

If there is a setting change I can make, please let me know.

Thanks
James
