    Try this Juliet...Navigation--Courses--Saved Courses....Now down in the right hand corner are three lines stack up on each other tap on that. You will see Turn Guidance....Make sure that is enabled. If not you will not get your turn notifications. Should solve your problems. Love watching your videos. I live in New Jersey and would love to have all the gravel you have over there.

    Spent last week cycling round Dartmoor. That grass was killer up some of the routes we took. Just seems to grip hold of the bike to prevent any forward motion. We took our 29er XC hardtails and I was thankful for the front forks. Helped us up and down some of the more technical terrain. Amazing fun though and stunning views! My Garmin Edge touring sucked though with routing. Had a few routes downloaded, but if you miss one small bit (and even if you don't), it spends the rest of the entire ride trying to reroute you. I found it best to turn 'recalculation', 'course turn guidance' and 'off course warnings' off and just follow the purple line, but that can be problematic if tracks overlap as you're not sure which way to go then. For a circular route, perfectly fine.

    This is bringing my mind back to when I cycled around Ireland many moons ago. I also had SD card errors with my GoPro 9. I took that SD card and did a full on format that took some time and, at the time, there was an update for the GoPro. Knock on wood, so far so good.

    GPS might be going a bit nuts because of the Radon in Dartmoor - always affected compasses/magnets in the past (hence military using it for training exercises) so might just be a one-off!

      That's not how Radon works either. It's a radioactive gas. Nothing to do with compasses or magnets, but if you have a bar-mounted geiger counter on your bike, it may indeed go nuts. The Military use Dartmoor because it's wild and remote, and have done since the early. 1800's. Radon wasn't discovered until 1899.

    I am not an expert but I *think* the turn-by-turn navigation issue is because some filetypes don't encode the right sort of data... Were you using a GPX file for this ride? If so, that might be the problem. I think if you build the course in the Garmin connect app it will work but otherwise you might want a FIT or TCX file.... I think!

  • @rogercmerriman
    @rogercmerriman 3 роки тому

    830 isn’t it, you can turn “turn by turn navigation” off be my only suggestion really, bit of rubber chicken waving but probably worth doing that any way, only navigating glitches I’ve had is to accidentally switch it off, if I’ve been swiping though pages and hit the red x, easy to turn it back on but a bit irritating, only on gravel rides as I switch between, rather than MTB where I leave it on map.

      Agree, RWGPS works well for me. Garmin user. I have found that most navigation problems come when using someone else’s routes. When I create my own on RWGPS I have no issues. I usually overlay the NCN. Also Cycling UK routes work well on my Garmin.

    As has been said, you’re following a trail rather than a route. Short of replotting the route there’s not a lot you can do. I’ll also second all those saying that moving to wahoo is a no-brainer if you’re looking to use navigation a lot. The way that wahoo integrates with mapping sites (ridewithgps, Strava, Komoot etc...) is infinitely better than garmin.
