Turn by Turn map zoom question.

Hello all,

I'm wandering if it's possible to disable or change the amount of zoom when navigating on the Edge 1030.

When I'm riding I use a datafield screen and when arriving to a crossroad or turn the Edge switches to a verry verry detailed map. Often when taking crossroads it's states that I need to turn right and directly after that take left turn when in reality it's just straight forward.

So if only when a turn by turn prompt comes up I would like to have it fully disabled or just a zoomed OUT view of the map.

I can't find the option for it.

Thank you!

    I don't think you can change the zoom level. However you can disable the map altogether and only get a text prompt when there is a turn.

    your strange turn indications could be created if the course is created using a different map or if you click at intersections when creating the course. I always click between intersections so the blue bubble does not end-up on a side road for a tiny distance.

    YES!
    Goto the desired profile
    Scroll down for NAVIGATION
    Chose NAVIGATION-MESSAGES
    Chose TEXT ONLY

    This is good practice.

    But, in the example given, looking at the image, the strange turn is in the map.

    Came back with some different settings. All the same. The only way to not have the detailled screen is by using the map screen all the time, or indeed using the text only messages. Altough using those still gives the right turn and directly after that a left turn to take a crossroad.

    Will make a mail to garmin to ask to add this feature. Should not be too hard I guess.

    This is the result of the map itself having the small jog in the path. There isn't really practical any way of preventing this issue. (You can fix these in course you design.)

    I tend to keep an eye on the map, which reduces the confusion the instructions might produce.

    Ok thx for the reply!

    Recently I updated the Garmin Southwest map and used the garmin routebuilder to create a small route here in the area. The problem remains.

    Put the OSM Garmin maps of my region on the Edge - Same problem. It just keeps giving two instructions to go straight forward. Take a left - take a right turn to cross the street.

    Even the audio warnings say that I need to take them.

    Already tried a few dozen different routeplanners, they all keep doing the same annoying thing. But only if I can turn of that verry detailed map that would be awesome. Just a quick zoomed out map with the big white arrow to show where to go would be fine, let us say 200 m zoom or so....

    It would be interesting to see the place with the issue.

    The issue isn't with the route planner.

    The issue is with the map installed on the Garmin.

    I have been following this thread. I have the same issue as “gabby025”.

    Can you please tell me the respond you got from Garmin support?

    Thanks!

    Today I also send a mail to Garmin support, still waiting for reply.

    I did not get an answer to this question. They blame it on the roueplanner. It seems that I plot my routes badly. 

    So no fix atm...

    When I go out cycling I do recognize the specific faulty map, so when I see it I know it straight forward, not optimal, but it works.  :)

    Hi gABBY025,

    I have sent screenshots to Garmin - they opened a case, and I still wait for respond.

    IT IS NOT A ROUTEPLANNER PROBLEM.

    I have both an edge1000 and edge1030. Both with same maps and software versions.

    If I plan a route on the edge unit (not thirdparty) then the edge1000 works perfect on autozoom, where as the edge1030 doesn't.

    The problem only occurs when driving through roundabouts.
