To be honest I ordered it from the wife's catalogue as it's interest free so ill just pay off chunks as and when. I did pay a tad more than £200 but sod it ! ......I wanted one.where did you order it from? i think garmin is still trying to take £200 for it when most places are only asking £180 now and thats how much i paid

Cheers, chances are i will message you with some set up questions
Blimey. Hopefully there is a way to record a ride at the same time as following a route as iv just bought one myself......So I have been testing out my new Garmin edge touring. I can use it to record a ride. simple. I can get it to follow a route (Imported GPX file) simple. but can i get it to navigate a route and record at the same time?
I dont know if its just me, but I have imported a route where the start point is 1 mile away form my house. I leave my house and immediately press record. I get to the course start point, and click 'where to' >>> 'saved' >>> courses >>> 'course name' >>> 'ride'. The device starts navigating me but stops recording the ride.
am I doing something wrong here. #i have now had two rides not record (although they were only 5 milers).
Cheers
Hmm, my 500 will navigate and record at the same time, I'd have thought the Touring would do that too. What I do though is start the course even if I'm not at the start point, then press record and set off. You could try doing the same with the Touring and see if that works.So I have been testing out my new Garmin edge touring. I can use it to record a ride. simple.

the 500 can't navigate can it?Hmm, my 500 will navigate and record at the same time, I'd have thought the Touring would do that too.

good to know you got it sortedI think I figured it out. I left my house and pressed the record button (the physical button bottom right). I got to the location where I know my saved course starts. I got back to the home screen by tapping the map, and hitting the home icon. I then went to 'Where to?' >>> 'saved' >>> 'Courses' >>> 'Course name' >>> pressed 'ride'. I pressed the 'record' physical button bottom right and the screen Save / Discard appeared. If this screen appears, re-press the 'record' physical button to continue recording.
I am disappointed that this unit does not have the best of instructions, and has required trial and error to get going. I feel like a users guide is required.
agreed it is not the best thanks for those tips had no ideaThank you Young Ed for the link to the manual for the Garmin Edge Touring. I have already seen this manual, and unfortunately, it is the worst manual I have ever read.
For example:
>>>There is no mention that whilst recording a ride, you can switch off the unit, switch it back on later, and it will continue recording the ride.
>>>There is no mention that if, whilst recording a ride, you get to the 'Save or Discard' screen, you can press the record button to carry on recording. I.e you do not have to Save or Discard.
