Directional Arrows While Navigating

Joenemans 
Does anyone know if you can limit the directional arrows to about 1 kilometer ahead?
They're currently spread out over the entire course, and it's difficult to choose when the course crosses over itself...

    I'd say zoom in a bit more? 

    I can't tell how densely packed your roads are, but in the netherlands my only real gripe with these is it doesn't remember the level of zoom I set when I allow it to auto zoom in or out.

    As for the progress I'd use a distance traveled and distance to go data field, maybe in the edge maps datafield from ciq?

    It's not a matter of zooming...

    Another example: Where to go at the point where the course crosses itself.

    Problem is that the directional arrows are placed over the entire course!

    It's pretty obvious that you have to go straight ahead at the crossing...

    On 1040 - very similar but not quite - it is a matter of zooming.  If I follow courses that cross, I navigate at a zoom showing approx 500ft / 300m — this certainly helps by showing only the arrows on the immediate upcoming course and it is clear at a cross-over which way to follow

    After a ride with other Garmin users, I discovered it is a 1050 issue. By the 1030+, the arrows are limited to about 1 km ahead with the same course. Here's another example of a test course:

    By the way, it used to work fine. This started happening after recent software updates.

    I'm curious how other 1050 users experience directional arrows.
