Rejoining routes

[Douglas E Reid]

I normally use myroutes to plot my routes then export these to a Garmin XT

But i sometimes have to use the myroutes nav feature but not that often so am not too experienced with it.

I am heading to Spain this weekend and will have a bike for a day so will be using my phone for nav.

I did the same last year but was very disappointed as there were a few occasions I had to leave the route and it refused to recalculate. If I restarted the route it only wanted to take me back to the very start of the route and not the nearest point.

To get round this I had to edit the map and delete points up to where I was so that the start was up ahead.

What am I doing wrong, how do you join in the middle of a route at the closest point ?

in my XT it just joins at the "nearest point"

thanks

If you set navigation to start at route point 1 it will guide you to route point 1...
Without repeating the complete manual, I can just hint you at longpressing the route punt you want to go to next, or if you are navigating (as) track, just longpress the route line a bit ahead from where you want to rejoin.

Make sure you have offline maps available to prevent bad internet situations also.
