New Garmin feature?
Yep:
Course Routing
[...]
- Added automatic course route caching.Just tested it on my 530, and it seems to work like advertised. A previously calculated/ridden course was available for navigation right away, without having to calculate it again.

Can anyone check my thinking on this?
I'm planning a bicycle tour, and was thinking of just making one big course (2000k). The new 8.x Garmin software update allows you to only have to calculate a course once, and then it's stored locally.
If I understand it correctly, you can then load it any time without the device having to (re)calculate the course. Then every day, I just load the course, and the device picks up I'm on course and shows me the way.
Any holes in this logic? Should I just break down the tour into separate courses (say, one for each day)?
