I *may* be over thinking this but please put my mind to rest.
I have a garmin 810 and doing the southlakes 100 at the weekend. At somepoint during the ride, I'll most likely want to bivy out.
Question being, if you stop a ride mid way through following a presaved course and turn off the garmin - will it still be able to follow on from where you left off when you turn it back on again?
I know it has a "navigate to start of route" prompt but if not selected will it restart navigation when it finds itself on the route again?

This has been my experience with an edge 800 so I'd expect the 810 to be the same. In your position I'd be trying it out beforehand just to be sure
Edit. Sorry missread your post. But yes when you switch it on you can carry on as before.
Bear in mind that when you restart the barometric pressure may have change and you may have a step up/down in elevation.
Why not create a waypoint where you leave the track? Then all you have to do is navigate back to that waypoint and follow the route again.
