Navigating back to a course after going off course.

GDTRFB over 5 years ago

I've only used my 530 to follow a course a couple of times.

When I have gone off course, I only get an "Off Course" warning and a notice to "Make A U-Turn."

I haven't been directed to follow other roads back, which I did on my 820.

Is this a glitch, do I need to change a setting or is this just the way that the 530?

Thanks,

Peter

Mine does not, and never has done. Many a time I have started a course or swapped course whilst riding another course etc and it has never wanted to take me back to the start.

The only way it would, would be to select, "Navigate to Start" when you select the course you want to ride.
