Edge 830: I have a constant blue flashing arrow (like the rid and green ones) which I can't get rid of. I've seen some comments on here but nothing that seems to fix it.

Hello 

You are getting this constant flashing blue arrow because you loaded a course and started riding without starting an activity (pressing the start/stop button)

You can change this behavior by changing the Starting the Timer option. (for example to auto).

I hope this information helps you a bit

Nope start/stop button is the only way to do that.

Hi thanks again so if the start stop button doesn’t work then there’s a problem I guess.  Just to check that’s the actual button on the left hand side of the device. Appreciate the help cheers m 

No. The activity stop/start button is the right hand side button on the bottom of the device.

The top left button is the unit power on/off.

! sorry don’t know why I said left !   Yes the right hand side button. It doesn’t work , won’t switch the activity off , doesn’t even respond with a beep or anything like that.  I thought that was the issue but doesn’t work.  

markmcd23 I'm sorry to hear that the button appear to no longer respond. I would recommend you follow the steps HERE to clean the button. 

If that doesn't cause it to begin working again, please reach out to your local Garmin Support at www.support.garmin.com

Many thanks I’ve contacted garmin and they are replacing the unit.  Thanks
