Reverse saved course

I could not find this simple function, that I had on my all older Garmin devices. Am i doing something wrong or garmin removed option to reverse saved course and ride other direction?

    That is a strange thing. I too used the reverse route function on previous models and am surprised to find that it's gone. Although I don't write programmes, I can't imagine it's a big issue, in software build terms, to reinstate it (which means I can't see the point of them removing it in the first place).

    Maybe there are issues with reversing a course. For example if you went down a one-way street it would try and make you go back against the traffic flow, which would be dangerous and possibly illegal. Also a lot of mountain bike trails are one directional. So maybe Garmin thought that for safety reasons they should leave it out.

    Hi, I had the same question this summer. I was loading GPX files to the EDGE and on day 1 following the track the correct direction and day 2 I was doing the reverse direction. Unfortunately there are no reverse direction function for tracks on the EDGE. You must use a tool like mapsource or basecamp. You can also use a online tool for.

    There is however one exception to the reverse course, when the route is created on the EDGE itself, meaning you select a start/finish point, then you can reverse the route after it has been calculated.

    Bardzo przydatna funkcja. Wczoraj musiałem przerwać rejestrowanie aktywności, aby ponownie przesłać trasę. Even my simple Sigma Rox 11 had it.

    Dear, when I have available only the course in a certain direction without possibility of inversion by the application, just start the course and ask to navigate from the beginning. It will guide you back to the beginning you desire for the same path.

    if true - thats terrible. Navigate to start should be just that and not reverse

    I did not test it but one option will do the trick

    Disable TBT for courses  then enable “Always Display” 

    It is not the best option but I think it can be ok for follow reverse course

    for sure in GC (online version ) course can be reversed

    In Gc mobile I sow that for one course I have the option to reverse it for others dont

    Indeed that is the only way...if you have a track in a circular way, and you want to follow the opposite direction, you must navigate with just the line showing on the screen.. The option of "NAVIGATE to START" does exactly that, you are sent to the track and then its over....you are not really naviageting the track in the opposite direction

    You can always reverse direction of a track that you load on GARMIN CONNECT MOBILE. If you only have the track on the EDGE, you need to sync it to your phone...that is the tricky part...
