yes but that article shows the http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ maps that I'm taliking about above. they don't seem to choose bicycle friendly routes at all. and the base map that comes with it do, even though their horrible to look at.
rainmakers maps route no different then my 2547 on london roads that I would avoid. just want mapping that chooses quieter bike friendly routes |

As I said, I'm not a cyclist
However the site you quote does suggest it provides 'Routeable bicycle' maps, I assume these are the ones you've chosen?
My link to DC Rainmaker's articles was just to explain in more detail how you can load OSM maps and how the Edge 800 works. A GPS device can only use the detail it's been given, if you're still having problems getting suitable routes for your bike you could try asking for help on a bike specific forum or here

while copying how to transfer routes/waypoints from thread on garmin forum, I have inadvertently copied all my waypoints to the 800, how do I remove them please
I had a selection of POI saved on BC of Amsterdam for a visit next week. all I want to do is transfer one route + these dozen waypoints to 800 not everything from my 2547. I see no routes in the left hand column to click |

Not really up to speed on the Edge series, so how you remove them on the device I'm not sure. If you sent them there via Basecamp though they should have been sent in a file named temp.gpx which should be in the GPX folder of your Edge. At the very least delete that file. It may solve your problem, if not then you'll need to delete them from within the device or you may be able to do it when it's hooked up to Basecamp (you can with devices like the Etrex 20 for example).
If you simply want to send one route and a few waypoints just select those in the top left hand pane, right click and select Send to as appropriate. _________________ Where there's a will ... there's a way. |

Deleting temp.gpx will stop your Edge re-importing them but if they are still in internal storage then you will need to delete them via the Edge. I'd be surprised if all 9000 are there as I don't believe the Edge series is capable of holding 9000 waypoints
Have you looked in the Edge manual
https://support.garmin.com/support/manuals/manuals.htm?partNo=010-00899-00
It explains on pages 24 to 26 how to delete waypoints, and also how to find them/navigate to them. However given that you appear to have so many to delete your best bet would be to master reset the device
https://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/case.faces?caseId=%7B38fcc6a0-cd2c-11e0-cf56-000000000000%7D
To delete data in Basecamp highlight the data you want to delete in the lower left hand pane, or select folders/lists in the top left hand pane, right click and select delete. However there really should be no need to take drastic action like that, just ensure that next time you only send the ones you wish to. _________________ Where there's a will ... there's a way. |
