Garmin 800 is really annoying me

[Pirahna]

Using my 800 today got to the point where I wanted to stamp on it. I was going outside my usual ride area so plotted a route on bikehike, saved it to m PC, loaded it to the 800 and set off. Every time I get to a road the bastard thing zooms in and wants to take me down it. Ride past bridleways I should have taken then get an off course warning. Zoom out because the thing had zoomed in, then when you get to a point where you see where you should be it zooms in to the road all by itself. I've got full OS maps ND For road routes the thing is great. Am I doing something wrong?

Go to system settings and set guidance to off road. Also turn lock on road off. Should help.

Cheers Si, I'll give it a go.

You may need to stop the course and restart it for the settings to take effect. Have a play with both system settings and course settings. It can be made to work well!
