Turn By Turn with map

Hi,

I am just getting used to my 945. I am liking the "Round Trip Course" feature.

I have managed to get it to plot a random route, and I have followed it, but found it difficult to keep up with it at times by looking at the map. I then found the 'Turn by Turn' feature and thought that was really good.

However, if I am on Map view, it seems rather convoluted to get the turn by turn up, then switch back to map. I would like turn by turn to be on one of the data screens after the map so I can quickly toggle between the two.

Can anyone advise how to do this?

Thanks

Dave

I have a very weird scenario, I follow the magenta breadcrumb trail with the bleep and cryptic white on black turn arrows. I thought this was the 945 limitation and thats all I can get until I clicked on "navigation""Back to Start" "Route". Wahey!! Full tun by turn navigation with road names etc. Why is this not available when I navigate the coure forwards - only when I reroute?!!!

I create the courses in Komoot and it autosyncs to my Garmin Connect course list and hence my watch.

What am I doing wrong please. The only way I have found to trick the watch is to select the course then select "ride in reverse", then I route "Back to Start" and hey presto - turn by turn navigation!!!

I am a bit confused, what are you guys referencing in turn by turn? when I create a course and go to run it, I get alerts before the turn and again at the turn, even if it is just a sharp bend on a trail/road. Regardless of what screen i'm on, sometimes the alert seems a bit late, but only effects me bad when I am biking fast. if i'm on the map it is easier to see and know when and what turn it is if there are many small side streets near each other.

Is there some other setting / screen I am missing?

I get that too.

My point is that if I fool the unit by doing the double reverse trick above I get the name of the road too with a distance countdown. Really useful in an urban environment with lots of turns. The device can obviously do it but why doesn't it happen on every course by default?

Just tried a route planned in GC too - no difference.
