Riding a route with the 820

I have a question about following a route on the Edge 820. I have loaded q gpx file. I press X to not recalculate the route when taking a wrong turn.
I start the ride but not on the start position of the gpx file but a few kilometers later. When i have ride the route til the end of the gpx the Garmin says that i have
completed the route. I have to reload the gpx again to ride the last piece of the route. This cost a couple of minutes because the Garmin is not that quick.
Is it possible that the route does not stop at the end of the gpx but will get a sort of continues?

Recording your ride and route guidance are separate functions. The ride will record (as long as you started the recording) whatever you do with route guidance. So you can stop it, change to a different route, restart a route, don't use route guidance at all, and it will still record whee you have ridden

Thank you. I know it are two different things. I want to ride a route from start to the end but i want to start on the half of the route. When i am on the end of the route it stops and i have to start the gpx file again. What i want is to start a route en that it wil be continues without stopping so that i can ride the whole track without starting it again. Ore without starting from the starting position.

If I understand you correctly, you want to ride a course that is a loop, start riding at some point along that course that isn't the programmed start point, and end at the same point. As you say, you can join the course at any point along it and the Edge will navigate correctly, but once you reach the programmed end point, the Edge will stop navigating. There is no way to have the edge continue navigating after reaching the programmed end other than load and start navigating the course again.

What I would do in this case is upload the existing course file into a course creator website, like RideWithGPS, and edit it to have the new desired stop/end point. Alterantively, I'd just start the course again once reaching the original programmed end point, as you have been doing.

That is exactly what i mean. Editing is an option. But for example, last week we should ride a course and while driving we saw a parking place on the other end of the track then were we would park first. If we had edit the ride we had the same problem.
I think i will try to edit it and if it is not possible i wil start the route again. But loading a track takes a bit of time. It's very slow.
Thanks.
