Paul – here’s my thoughts on the edge touring so far. It’s good, just slightly different to my old massive garmin. I didn’t want the training part of the expensive edges. I’ve emailed Garmin to ask about a few functions I’d like them to explain/consider, probably my user stupidity.
Follow course. I can go into where to > saved > courses then select one of the courses from above. The problem is that I can’t turn off the routing options. It will follow that course but it will try to ‘add value’ to my routing. Can I get it not to use a calculation method? I don’t want minimise time/distance/ascent, I just want to follow the course as I uploaded to the device. especially off-road this is much more realistic than trying to cut across fields or roads/paths. Can I tell it to do less and just follow the route, make no changes to it? If not, can you add this as a feature…I could live with it as is.
Reverse uploaded routes. Can you do the equivalent of the tracback function? can I select an old course and say go to start, or end? when out on the hill, I won’t have a reverse route already created as a course to follow.
[before someone says buy a paper map instead, that’s always with me as well]
