Navigating courses from watch vs imported from connect + can't create routes on watch

When navigating with the watch, there is a significant difference in the way navigating a course looks on the watch between importing a course from Garmin connect and creating a course on the watch. The prompts given are much larger and easier to understand when creating a course on the watch. Additionally, when creating a course on the watch I get nice arrows along the path to tell me which way to turn, which helps at trail intersections, especially when the course crosses over itself. Is there a way to get the imported courses to function similarly?

My watch also is basically unable to create round trip courses by itself - just hangs up on the creating route screen and keeps starting the green line over again. I am only practically able to create trackback (to start) routes on the watch. Does anyone have this issue?

Thx
