This isn&#8217;t quite turn by turn directions, but upon reaching a certain point it&#8217;ll provide notification that one should turn, look for a hazard, etc. To test this I set up a neighborhood route, out Philadelphia Court and out to some main roads, winding around through some other neighborhoods, and back.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after departing on a test ride it correctly informed me that I should turn right out of the driveway, but then gave an an off-course notification and the prompting no longer worked. After I got back home and reviewed the data the image above is what I found. Lots of garbage data scattered around the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>This is just one of the many little quirks that I run into when using a GPS for data recording. Despite indicating that it&#8217;s receiving a solid signal it&#8217;ll still occasionally go funny and produce garbage for a little while. I&#8217;ll have to give this a different test another day. Maybe I&#8217;ll head out for a ride on Sunday and test the prompting on one of Bob&#8217;s routes&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This evening I was playing around with drawing custom courses that can be loaded into a Garmin Edge 500 and used to provide turn prompting&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2013\/02\/15\/more-gps-goofyness\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">More GPS Goofyness<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-electronics","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17090"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17090\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17263,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17090\/revisions\/17263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
