At the point where you need it for directions, it will still know where you're going and where you are, and it will have a plan for how to get from A to B, it'll be ready to guide you.
OK, I'm following you now, no pun intended.
I will have to try that.
I did get 25 miles in today - mostly trails that I have been on a bit, but some new. I didn't use the routing through the new part much, but I did get a mile or so in of routing through a neighborhood - and it worked to get me back to where I normally pick up the next trail. So that was good, it just wasn't a long test.
I did try to route with minimal waypoints at the start of the ride but it wouldn't get past the neighborhood. It told me "calculation error" every time. I zoomed in and a trail that connects a dead-end in the neighborhood with a trail that parallels a main throughway was physically there, but the map detail in the Edge 1000 did not have it complete for some reason. So the Edge 1000 couldn't route through the gap in the trail. Oh well. I tried.
