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

GPLama

- 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
