If you load a TCX Course or a TCX History of an uploaded ride on the site (a ride that you or someone else recorded and uploaded to our site) you will get virtual partner speeds identical to the speeds actually ridden along the ride. As a result, you’ll end up racing against the virtual partner. When we create a TCX Course file for a pre-planned route, we have to embed fake timestamps on each point, which is used for the virtual partner speed on the GPS unit. The downside to a TCX file for navigation is the Virtual Partner. This is especially helpful if you have custom cue sheet entries, as well as a nice double check to Garmin’s own navigation. So, alongside Garmin’s dedicated navigation, you get beeps and text for each pre-planned cue entry in the cue sheet. A TCX Course has the advantage of embedding your planned route’s cue sheet. The Edge 820 can use either a GPX Track, FIT Course, or TCX. You can also experiment with 3D mode.įor a more detailed example of how to get a route to your Edge 820, see Export Routes to Garmin Devices.īefore exporting your routes, try to limit the name to 15 characters or less as the remaining characters will get truncated. Select Activity Profiles then select your preferred profile.The default setting on the Garmin is for the map to always rotate so your current heading is towards the top of the map. Some users strongly prefer the map always be displayed with North at the top of the map. This is almost always not what you want! By setting it to prompted, you can choose to recalculate or not. If you lose GPS signal, or go slightly off course for a block or two, with recalculation enabled the Garmin has a tendency to shortcut you to the end of your ride with whatever it feels is the quickest way. Set Recalculation to Prompted or Disabled.Since we are loading pre-planned routes onto the Edge, we don’t want it recalculating the route on us if it thinks there may be a toll, highway etc. Select Avoidance Setup and make sure all options are disabled.You’ll get odd track recordings if you divert from the road at all or cut through a parking lot. ![]()
