Start activity and use a course

Edge 830 noob question:

I have a .gpx route I wish to follow whilst tracking a bike ride. I am getting totally confused as to how I start an activity, whilst getting my Edge unit to also navigate around the route(?)

  • I have added the .gpx file to Garmin Connect.
  • I have pushed the route to my Edge 830

I looked through the Garmin online manual but could not find what I needed.

Can anyone help me at all?

    Start with "Navigation & Demonstration" then "Data Screen Setup", then other might be useful

    Welcome & Good Riding

    PS Navigating & Ride Recording are independent functions but which are usually done together 

    The activity start (record) button is the bottom right, it also stops the activity / recording

    Ensure you have a good GPS fix before loading the course/starting the ride.

    Sometimes, if you are very close / at the start of the ride the course loading / pressing the Ride screen "button" will ask you if you want to start, in which case you don't have to press the button to start, but remember to stop it

    Its been years since I last looked at that video so just a few more words as the video jumps into step 2 or 3

    From the main screen Press Navigation, Then Courses, Scroll to your course & select, press "Ride" and if it has not asked you to start press the Activity Start / Record (bottom right), and away you go......
