Garmin Edge 1030 - Navigating to a Location While Riding

DaveLeeNC
over 5 years ago

I have a new Edge 1030 (Bontrager Version, BTW) and my experience base is a Edge 800.

I have not been able to figure out how to start navigating to a saved location (or getting into navigation at all) in the middle of a ride. A typical use-case would be you get lost on a ride and just want to navigate 'Home', but don't want to start a new ride. On the Edge 800 I would simply tap the screen, hit Menu, and then the 'Where To' option. What is the equivalent on the 1030? 

Second question - what is that 'hand thing' that shows up on the navigation screen (sometimes)? Other than tap it to make it get dark, I cannot figure out what it does.

Thanks.

ps. FWIW, for an old guy with old eyes the 1030 screen is a really big step up in terms of 'visibility at a glance' vs. the 800.

    1) Navigation and recording of an activity are completely independent from each other. You can - without interrupting the recording - load a new route, end a navigation, enter a destination - whatever!
    Go to the homescreen, press Navigation and do whatever you want. The recording will not be interrupted.
    2) Tap your hand on the map screen - then you can move the map. Back then again with the arrow down left.

    Thanks for the response. I think I am making progress here. The logic of the system seems to be 

    1) A single tap on any screen (e.g., Data Screen) gives you a 'home' option. But for the MAP screen it takes two taps (which is how I missed it).  

    2) A single tap on the map screen gives you 'a hand'. But I cannot move a map under any circumstances - hand, no hand, gray hand (after tapping the hand). I don't recall having that problem when browsing a map, so maybe this is simply a limitation of how things work during a RIDE. 

    3) "Back then again with the arrow down left" - Sorry, I just can't parse that one, but it may contain information that I need. If I could figure out how to move a screen, I am guessing that this is how you get back to where the screen started. But for me a single tap on the map screen does not seem to do anything but bring up a hand (or serve as the first of a double tap to get a home option). Late edit - it also brings up a "+/-" (zoom in/out) which does work. 

    Thanks again.

    The hand and +- sign should react to touch.
    Tap on the hand changes its shape - it becomes a circle with a square around it and the "arrow back" appears at the bottom left. Now you can move the map. Tap on + and - enables zoom-in, zoom-out.
    If your screen in the upper area is really inresponsive, then something is wrong with your device!

    Thanks again. That works exactly as you described. AFAIK, it did not work like that for me yesterday, but maybe there was something about the timing or mode I was in or something else that messed it up,. Regardless, thank you for your help;. dave
