Indeed.
Press start and follow the line. It will beep to let you know you are off route and make another line showing where you are going.

Going to give it a small test tomorrow.
I am messing about with it at the moment. I want to get rid of the stop watch but i dont think it will let me.
Still have the timer for rides as well so happy at the moment.
Thanks for all your help.
When you press start on the course it will record for you.
You can then upload to Garmin Connect for the info.

The way I do it is to import the tcx file in to Training Centre (Courses Tab), then send to device. Its a bit slow but iirc a activities tab comes up and you just say OK to that, then you have a tab thats split in two with all your courses on the left and the courses on the Edge on the right and you transfer back and forward then click OK and after a bit of processing its done.

I have it so i got a tcx file in my docs for future use, and in the garmin TC
I got the 205 from ebay and never realised just how powerful and good it is.

I got an 800 for Christmas but I'm still using my old 305, I think the 205/305's are much better looking units and as long as you don't stray off the path or in a town/city is easier to follow

this ^^ I have the Garmin Edge 200.
select the course, select again (on mine) and then start. do not accept the auto detected movement do you want to record start because that abandons the course and just records manually.

With the 305 you plot the route in Connect, give it a title and click on "export to device".

I'll have to experiment. Last weekend was the first time I ever used the navigation function. Once I found out how to zoom into the trail I found it pretty user friendly.

Same here, i bought the thing a months ago from ebay and just used it as a cycle computer.
I have been playing with the Garmin site and Ridewithgps.
It is not quite what i thought it would be, but having tested it today is very good for what i paid.
Let me know if you get any good tips etc.

If you are plotting a route on Garmin Connect that you don't know it is worth going over it with google earth because the route does not always follow roads you can cycle down, I have been caught out a couple of time, the worst way up in the Peaks which resulted in me carrying the bike for 2 miles.
With the breadcrumb trail it can be hard to pick up you route again when you have to detour.

Oh - can anyone tell me how to get connect.garmin to navigate around roundabouts UK style please. I am so fed up of the alerts telling me I am off route because I obeyed UK traffic regs and cycled around the roundabout the correct way!
