Off course aural alert

So there I was... For biking sometimes the Course or Track is hundreds of miles.  Nothing like wandering off course only to find you need to go back up that mountain to take the trail you missed.  I am looking for a feature that simply follows your Course or Track (in the proper direction) and once a deviation is detected your screen says "OFF COURSE" and you are alerted aurally.  I use a Garmin 800 that does this and more nicely.  Using the iPhone mounted on the handlebars will be someday in the future.

I would also like a user screen that I can set up in preferences so when I am on the bike and I accidentally touch the wrong button it does not take me out of guidance, track up etc.

  Will be using this for search and rescue training. We would love to be able to set an area that the system would give a beep or some sort of warning if you go outside a set area.  After much research, Garmin does not have this feature either?

  I’d love an “off course” feature as well. It would save me a lot of screen peeking, and let me focus more on trail hazards and sights. And less screen probably means longer battery life.
