Edge 1040 "snapping" my courses to internal map

pcoady 19 days ago

While navigating courses on my 1040, it keeps adjusting my gpx courses to fit its own view of the world. This is super confusing, especially since often the on-board maps are not up-to-date with latest trails. It's gotten me totally lost several times, and is also confusing.

I looked closer today and it seems it keeps both on the screen, but the one with the arrows ISN'T my course. The one with the arrows is what it thinks in the course (and is wrong).

Does anyone know how to disable this? The gpx tracks I'm following are usually much more accurate than the map data, especially for mountain bike trails (which is where the problem is the worst for me).

I‘m doing mountainbiking only and for me it makes no sense to use turn by turn navigation for this sport.
Turn off turn by turn navigation und you‘ll get rid of the annoying second track. But let off-course-warning enabled. This is a helpful feature for mtb.

Navigation > Courses > 3 vertical dots (top Right screen)

You lose the white turn arrows & top of map screen (guide text) directions but keep the direction chevrons and your original planned route line in magenta color. If you need some turn directions look up "Course Points".

Hi, did you know that you can correct the map data yourself? Create a login on Openstreetmap and you can contribute to map. Garmin isnt the fastest at compiling this into data into their maps but it will eventually feed through. Maybe once or twice a year. Other map sources will get the updates quicker but probably for another day/thread.
All the best, Dave.

Thank you, that's just what I needed. Do you enable the trailforks ("Trailsight" I think it is called)?

Thank you, that exactly solves the problem!

Thanks, I'll check that out. Although would seem they could mostly automate this with heatmap data.
