    I can't seem to get this button to work when I'm mapping a new course.  I'm using an iMac with Safari.  Block pop-up windows is turned off.

      I've had the same problem since i started a few months ago.  I just put the arrows as close to each other as possible.  i would like a fix if there is one though.

        The tool is designed to return back to the start once you have closed the loop.  Otherwise it would not know where to take you.  Are you closing the loop?

          If I'm understanding Trent correctly ...

           

          It does NOT function in a GPS-routing sense.  One should not expect it to route from the current point to the starting point.

           

          It is NOT like the return-to-start feature in the Forerunner 305.  That is, it won't simply retrace your route back to start from wherever you are at the time.

           

          It IS more of a "lollipop" course-routing tool.  You go out, you draw your loop, you close that loop, and then you tell it to route you back to Start (along the path you took out).

           

          Yes?

            Yes.

            Also, there is a separate button for out and back courses.

              I learned something today. Thanks Trent.

               

              (I overlooked and never used the out-and-back tool. I always used the return-to-start tool only, and made the extra point back onto the route. Dumbass!)
