Hi Willy,
I have a Garmin Edge 800 and it does support tcx, in fact I always use tcx; anyway, it happened that pushing the "start"button on the Garmin when I wanted to follow a track, if I was on a portion of a street the foreseen an out and back, the GPS told me to go in the wrong direction; when I was pedaling in the right direction it increased the remaining km rather then reduce them.
the problem does not lie in the GPS behavior only, but also when I edit a track: regardless on which web site I am, on an overlapped track it is very hard to select the right direction in order to create a Course Point at the right km.
Which kind of try do you want me to do?
Thanks
Stefano

Btw. Forgot to tell. I do not think the function Plot return leg of an out-and-back route is functioning properly. At least I do not notice the new expected extra return instructions to be generated ?
Works ok: By a short test generate shortest path A to B and then generate shortest way return from B to A ... generates the instructions as expected.

Hi Stefano,
Does your gps accept tcx ? Generates all commands in perfect time order (and so distance) even if design has overlapping identical positioned out and return sections. Generating different positioned out and return track by autorouter ? If there are no bicycle sideways ? = Wait wait wait. Try tcx..... now.

Hi Stefano - this is on our Feature Requests list (number 12), but at present there are quite a few other requests that have more votes, so it may be a while before we can get to it.

I agree that would be a better way to implement this feature.

We'll certainly see what we can do to help with this. I wondering though if it may be better to have an editing function that separates overlapping sections of a route after plotting it rather than as you plot it. This would then allow people to do this for routes that are uploaded to the site as well as for any that are plotted using our route planner.

I vote for this as well. i do a lot of out and back and sometimes the turns show up for the other direction. i am loving all the other fetures you have recently updated.

Hi Stefano - that is a great suggestion, thank you for putting it forward. I'm not sure how easy it would be to do but I'll add it to our feature request list for consideration.
