Navigating on to a course - device logic?

Is there a specific type of logic the device uses when it is attempting to navigate you on to the course?

When you load a course it gives you the option to navigate to the start of the course, if you choose to do this, the device behaves as you would expect.

But if i choose not to do this, what exactly does the device do? What should it do?

What I want it to do is navigate with the shortest route to the closest point on the route, but it definitely does not do that.

It seems to be still trying to navigate to the start of the route. If I continue on against the instructions, the routing does seem fine once I manually navigate myself on to the course.

    Currently the unit will only provide navigation to the start point.

    It will correctly pick up the course no matter where you join it.

    If you choose not to navigate to the start of the course the device will not give any navigation prompts until you start following the course at any point.  Once you are following the course it will give you the navigation prompts from the point you joined the course.

    No, that is not what it is doing. It is clearly still attempting to navigate somewhere, despite selecting not to navigate to the start. Otherwise, it would not be giving me turn notifications and I would not be getting prompted repeatedly to do a U-Turn. I suspect it is probably trying to navigate to the start despite not selecting that option. However, looking at the route it was plotting, didn't look like it was going back to the start. It looked like it was going somewhere on the route closer to the end.

    If you had the auto recalculate option on it could do that as you would be off course so it would automatically recalculate.  If  you don't have the recalculate option on then it would not do this.
