    Evening

    I plan a route on ridewithgps,upload it to the garmin and off I go.
    I prefer to have the screen with my riding data on it showing,not the maps for directions.
    When I’m coming up to a turn,the GPS side of things takes over and displays the map with a big white arrow telling me where to go,after I’ve made the turn it goes back to riding data. This is how I like it to work.
    However,it doesn’t always show me the turn,with the result I shoot past the turn and then it tells me I’m off course and I have to backtrack.
    Does anyone else get this?is there anything to be done about it?

    Have you looked at the settings for notifications (or something like that). My old Garmin used to have the options “at turn” or at various distances or times before turns. If yours is set close/short then, add to that any delays with the GPS itself, it used to equal overshoots.

    Not the same GPS, and not used for bike touring, but there was definitely something in the options.

    Also, have you set it to “bike” and not walk/car/boat (if it has these options).

    Just a few ideas, but as I say, not actually used the Edge.

    Thanks for the input,but the touring is totally different to that.
