I have a Garmin 800. How do you figure this out? I put a route in using Ride with GPS. It beeps if I am off course. Is this all I need to do or is there a feature I am missing?

Also, someone mentioned having routes show how many miles are left on the ride. How do you do that? I feel like I am doing everything by trial and error and not knowledgeable enough to know what to try.

Al, yesterday I paused my Garmin 800 when I took it off the bike and was walking around with it for a while. Of course, I forgot to start it back up again and never noticed the screen where it asks if you want to start. Frustrating.
