I am informed this is the intended behavior. They use a 'time delay' alert to prevent unnecessary alerts when someone is only briefly off course.Nail wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 1:54 pmIt seems that the off-course alarm is not related to the distance, but to the time out of course. You can deviate from the course in a perpendicular line, the faster you move, the further you will get before the alarm sounds.gpsrchive wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 5:36 pm Garmin introduced new Off Course Alarms when support for courses was added, and, quite unfortunately, they have not yet provided any documentation about their functionality nor have they included any user configurable settings to control their operation on the device.
Have you intervened with Garmin regarding this functionality?

Re: GPSMAP 66sr Routing Issues
So basically, no option will be added to adjust this?GPSrChive wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 11:49 pmI am informed this is the intended behavior.

Re: GPSMAP 66sr Routing Issues
The setting option for this alert will be good for users.
Maybe we will specify our requirements and send a request to Garmin to take care of the update tailored to our requirements.
I opt for entering the time and/or distance settings after which the alert will be triggered.
Additionally, sound type settings for the descent and return to the course
