My former Edge 800 device allowed to select "virtual partner" on/off while loading a course.
It's not possible on Edge 1030.
Any proposals how to fix?

A way to disable this feature should be implemented asap
Agreed the "Virtual Partner" feature can be very annoying & really need the option to disable/switch off.
Most annoying are difficult navigation situations where you might accidentally misinterpret the virtual partner as your own location. Happened to me several times when the VP was nearly the same speed…
Nobody cares to be honest. If it bothers you set your target speed to a very low (1km/h) or very high (99km/h) number and the virtual partner will desapear from your sight pretty quick. It is however very easy to just ignore it.

I would not say that it is on my wish list - not being able to deactivate the VP does not meet my expectation...
Worst idea Garmin had was this virtual partner, this thing is annoying, as it is useless, its like my edge 1000 has a mind of it's own, I find it amazing that tech is not working on finding a way to disable this feature. And it always pops up at the wrong time.
Where in Garmin Connect is this option located?
On Garmin Connect (Web or Mobile) goto trainings -> courses
-select a stored course
-edit the course
-at the bottom you‘ll find a field to set the speed of VP
