More silly messages. How do I stop them?

I have a 1040.

I plot a route and when I follow it I am given a banner on top of the map telling me when the next turn point is, which way to go and the name of the road coming up.

Excellent. I use it a lot and don't want to lose it.

Now, for some unexplained reason, when I have passed that turn point I get a message at the bottom of my screen telling me which way I have just turned and what road I am now on. Totally pointless info - I was there at the time, I made the turn and I'm more interested in the next turn. This can be a real PIA if I am making a series of quick tuns because it interferes with the map display.

I've looked at the manual and - as usual - it is about as much use as a chocolate teapot.  The presumtion must be that some upgrade has "improved" the display and the only way to remove it is by some hidden screen that Garmin CBA telling us about.

Has anyone else discovered this improvement and if so have you worked out how to remove the banner at the bottom of the screen, whilst leaving the top banner intact?

    It sounds like the course file you are using contains course points for the turns. What you are seeing are turn instructions generated by the Edge, Those are what show at the top of the map page. You are then getting the course point notification as you pass through the turn.

    I'm not sure where you are getting the course file from, but one options is to switch off the course point generation in the course authoring tool. 

    The second option is that you can switch off the course point notification on the Edge.

    Navigation -> Courses -> Course name -> 3 dot menu at top of screen -> Course Points (On/Off)

    Course Points. Of course it is. 

    Now why has that happened. I automatically delete them all. I've ridden this route before without them. Now I find all my routes have reverted to having Course Points switched on. 

    Thanks. I discounted them because I knew I didn't have them set up. 

    I wonder what has suddenly changed the setting in every route? Guess we will never know.
