    Log onto Garmin Connect and you can plan the route turn by turn. I'm new to Garmin, so I'm sure there is probably a few options.

    Thats pretty much it.

    Plan your route. Save it. Plug in your garmin and download to device

    You also then need to change the default options on your unit once you've downloaded the course.

    Go into 'Courses', tap on the course you've just downloaded and turn the navigation display to On.
    I haven't got my edge 800 infront of me, but it's something along those lines.
    If you don't do this the unit won't give you turn by turn directions whilst you're cycling the route.

    You have to do this everytime you send a route to your garmin, the default setting has turn by turn directions turned to Off.
    No idea why, when it's usually one of the main reasons you've bought the edge 800.
