If you go off-course, the simplest thing to do is just ride back to the magenta line. You should know you are off course fairly quickly.

On the 800 (other models might behave differently), the route recalculation does do what people expect it does. It really isn't necessary to recalculate at all.

With the 800, things generally start working as expected once you are back on course.

This approach requires that you have the map displayed (and are paying some attention to it).
