Calling Garmin Guru’s: Tracks on 705 vs 805/810

[grego12]

Ive had an edge 305, 800 and now the 810. Never had a problem following trails or tracks with either of them. Can't comment on 705.

 

On the 810, I simply load ride profiles with basecamp onto the device. You can then set the device to always display the trail so it always shows when you are riding. That way when you ride, you can see the trail and follow it (I don't know the difference between all garmin's routes/tracks/etc.). If you want you can switch on navigation, but that often is just irritating as it keeps telling you you are offtrack.

 

One rather irritating problem with the 810 over the 800 is that when using navigation, it can't seem to pick up if you start halfway through a trail...it insists on navigating you to the start - the 800 used to pick up where you are, what the trail direction is you want to go and figure it out. Not sure if anyone has figured out this issue?

You're riding routes from what you've said.

 

Again, I have no use of routes!

 

Did no-one read the disclaimer in the OP?
