Route To Start / Navigation Issue: 47km route turned into a 1.5km route.

- Edge 1040 Solar. Firmware 20.09. Latest map packs. 

- I attempted to ride a 47km route that looped back to the start.

- 500m prior to the start point I loaded the course, selected 'navigate to start'.
- Near the start/finish the finish flag   was shown to be 60m ahead... so it was routing me to the finish line (which was also the start...) ? 
- Once I passed the start/finish the Edge wanted to re-route me with a u-turn back at the next intersection and take me to the finish... making the 47km ride 1.5km in total. 
- Did the EDGE not detect I was within a few meters of the start? That's the only explanation I can think of...even though I rode right over the start point.  
I had to stop the route and restart it as I was on-course for the full 47km route to be correctly loaded.

  • , I am also having issues with 20.09. My device so far has dumped 3 of 4 rides.

    Re: Navigation. My only attempt to navigate a route with 20.09 with my 1040S had it load the route, showing the course line following the roads...but once I pressed start, it gave no TBT directions, and showed the directional arrows (out and back) on a straight line that appeared to go ONLY top the furthest course point from the start point., 

  • I've seen this before. Trick is to have start and finish not exactly on the same spot. E.g. 100 meters apart will do.

  • I once noted a bug regarding to „route to start“ in an beta and reported it, Seems to be the same problem as yours. I never checked if it was solved, apearantly not. 

    Route start doesn’t rout to start, but to the neares point on the track it could find. 
    I had pretty similar situation:
    I wanted to ride a group ride wich is always a round trip. That time it happened that i had to cross the route. Imagine the route is a clock and i life left of 9 o’clock. Start and stop was at 3, the route was clockwise. It wanted me to ride to 9 and finish the route clockwise to 3.
    This is the closes Analogie i could find, but i don’t think that any Software engineer ever thought about the simple fact that i want to go to 3 when i push „route to start“ and don’t want to go the fastest way to the finish line.


  • In my case, I had opposite situation. On my way back home on a very short 25km route I made a wrong turn. With about 8k to go home, Garmin suggested two options:

    Rejoin with additional 52k or Cut across for an additional 41.9km... I like way of thinking for Garmin developers Smiley
