It's possible that this won't happen if you can tweak the route so that the legs are on the proper side of the road (so, they are separate lines). That's less of a recommendation than it to try to explain how the problem happens.


I don't think there's a way of turning that off on the 830.

The track files have times associated with each point. Historically, the tracks were generated from a recorded ride. The "virtual partner" can use that information as something you can "race" against. Some of the route planners don't use "reasonable" speeds to add the time to the points. Your best option is to ignore it (if you can't turn it off).
If you can't turn off the virtual partner, you should be able to hide the screen and/or set the speed to something ridiculously slow (3 mph?) so that it never finishes before you and you don't have to worry about it.
