navigation: on course vs to the specific point

Former Member over 5 years ago

hi everyone!
have you noticed that there are some differences between two types of navigation:

1) riding on course => then I have screen with time to destination and distance to destination active. I know how many km/min left. Easy, right?
2) navigating straight to a particular point (POI or pin on the map or address...) => then screen looks different. There is no information about time/distance to destination - I can see only navigation directions. Annoying. Can't see the logic here.

Do you know how to fix it?

I’m pretty sure the distance remaining is data in the course file. If so, then there’s no way to fix it.

so you're sayin that garmin edge 830 ($400) is not able to estimate remaining distance? I'm a heavy Google Maps user so it's so hard to believe

Distance to destination should give you what you want.

it's what I'm looking for. Is it possible to see distance to destination during navigating to specific point? (not creating a whole course)

It should work, let me give it try later this morning.

Update.

Yes it works. I used the POI search to find a local coffee shop and the distance to destination, ETA and Time to dest were all computed

thank you so much for your time. I need to find out how to set this screen.

You can select different data by pressing on a field and holding it. If you hold it long enough, you'll get a list of data types. You want the navigation type.
