We’re spending the Xmas and New Year period at the outlaws. To combat the boredom I’ll be taking the road bike and I plan to ride some long routes in Herefordshire/Black Mountains area.
Last time I did this I spent half the time stopping to check my phone for directions so this time I will be going armed with an Edge 200.
I know the 200 is a basic unit but I know you can create a ‘Course’ with online route planning software such as the Strava route planner (which I have done) and upload the tcx file to the Edge for navigation.
I tested it on the commute this morning and although the Course is there as a black line on the display there are no left/right directions or distance countdown to turns. I’ve seen screenshots of this on the Edge 200 so it can be done.
It may be because the Strata route builder doesn’t produce waypoints at junctions but I’m not 100% sure.
Does anyone use an Edge for navigation and if so any hits/tips/recommendations for a route builder?
Thanks in advance.
