Failed to resume navigation after going off course

This morning I loaded a 25K circular course into my 1040 that I’d planned with Connect Web. A short way into the course I deviated due to a flooded road. The 1040 asked me if I wanted to re-route and I said “yes”. When I rejoined my original course I got the “course found” message, and could see the course being tracked on the map, but I no longer received any course directions. The top of the map screen said “Continue on Road”, the “Distance to next” was stuck at 2km and didn’t change. I tried stopping/starting, reloading the course, but nothing I did would make the directions come back. It still (correctly) displayed the distance to my destination - just not any directions.

Lucklily this was a short route near to home and I knew where to go - but if I’d been on a long ride it would have caused more of a problem.

Anybody have any idea what happened - and how I could force it to restart navigation guidance?

Likely a variety of these issues which has been evident since the 1040 release but seem to be more reported since 17.26/17.29

often following an “off course”. Some users say a factory reset fixes it if persistent otherwise just see what it does next ride, these issues are quite random, Garmin has not shown a great deal of interest.

Thanks for your reply. Those do indeed look like possibilities. I have since done another course and despite repeatedly going off course and back on again I could not reproduce the problem.

One interesting thing about the original ride is that early on it tried to route me down a road that was definitely not part of the course. It was a shorter route than the one on the course but prone to flooding so I avoided. I ignored the spurious routing, assumed I'd made a mistake in my planning and carried on. But on re-checking the planning when I got home I found that it wasn't part of the course. However it was part of a route I'd taken a week before. Perhaps this is the "ghost course" that was mentioned several times?
