Garmin 830 Edge navigates to end of course instead of following route at start

Several times my 830 Edge has not followed the course unless I commence tracking right at the start. When I click "navigate to start" it does not navigate me to the start, it actually navigates me to the end (these are loop routes). Then the course ends without allowing me to follow the route. What is causing this error? Also, when I try to follow the route myself (without navigation or course) and then I select to start the course midway through the route, I cannot find any way to continue on the course route. The only option presented to me is to "navigate to start" as opposed to continuing along the route. At this point it does correctly navigate me back to the start, but then the ride completes without actually allowing me to go on the route. 

What is going on here / what am I doing wrong? 

Thank you

    I'm having this issue too. If I deviate off course it wants to send me back to the beginning, instead of directing me to the nearest spot to get back on course.

    Bump. I had this issue yesterday, so it's definitely not something that's been fixed in recent software.

    I would recommend deleting this course off of your Edge and then reloading it.

    If you start riding a route, and then select the course on the Edge after you have started, you should have an option to select No to the Navigate to Start prompt. Are you not seeing this?

    I don't remember seeing that, but i could be wrong. Are you saying that if you select "no" it will continue along the route towards the end? Because it seemed to point to the start no matter what I did.

    Sorry, I should have been more specific as there were a few things the OP mentioned.

    I loaded up a course, navigated to the start, and it never stopped pointing me to the "start" even after I had reached it, and wouldn't just continue with the route. Eventually I loaded the route again and did not navigate to start, but then after I started to follow it, after about a mile it told me I finished the course. I loaded it again and things were pretty smooth until the last couple of miles, where it started showing distance and time estimates as if I was just starting the route again, rather than getting close to finishing.

    If you choose the navigate to start option the unit will navigate you to the start of the course and then stop navigating.  It will not then start navigating the course you selected.  This has always been the behaviour of that option since the start of the mapping units.  It isn't that obvious.

    If when you load a course you select yes to the navigate to start prompt the device will navigate you to the start of the selected course and then stop navigating.  If you want to follow the course at this point you have to tell the device to navigate you along the course.

    If when you load a course you select no to the navigate to start prompt that you get when you are not at the start point the device will navigate you along the course to the end after you get yourself onto the course..

    If you go off course that your are being navigated along and have the device recalculate the device will create a new route to the end point of the course.  This is highly unlikely to be the course your were originally following.  The newer 1030+ unit has new recalculation options which should allow  it to route back onto the planned course at a suitable close point and then start following the course again.  No other Garmin unit can do this.

    I have met the same problem years ago with  so called "round trips" my Garmin Edge Touring. The reason: an incorrectly route designed with Basecamp. 

    The following was wrong: Essentially you should consider a round trip as a circle. Please make sure  when creating a route in Basecamp that there is no overlap between Starting and  End point. Keep a "small gap" between Starting and End point.
