Turning off auro-recalculate is essential as it is a well known bug and when following a course will just try and redirect you back to your start.
And two tips that I have of my own:-
1. Stick a tiny piece of triangle shaped dayglo red over your own position on the map page., your eyes are drawn instantly to that point instead of looking for the Garmin icon marking your position. It helps if you do this to have a screen protector and also if the piece of tape is small it does not cover up any data field if you have split data fields at the bottom of any training page.
2. Also stick a piece of the same above mentioned tape on the side of the screen about half an inch long by a milimeter wide with the bottom edge level with the piece marking your location. This is known as a "yard stick" and when navigating, at some point early in the ride when you are approaching a recognisable feature that is also on the map, watch it and soon as it is level with the top part of the "yard stick", memorise visually that distance in your head and from then on you can look down at the map and know roughly how far away you are from objects on the map. In effect it creates a scale on the map which you can use to judge distance. This is to replace that useless Garmin scale which you cannot see because of the clutter on the map,
