Following a track in etrex vista

Hola!
I have an etrex vista.
Following a track, the arrow that shows you wich direction to go straight
ahead, is calculated by the system, but is not looking exactly at the next
track point, it always jumps on to 3-4 points... is any posibility not to be
like this? I mean, each point of the track means one arrow.
Regards.
I attach a description diagram http://personales.ya.com/picoteo/lines.jpg
In blue, the course to be followed, calculated by the etrex (easier to make
a mistake following the track in case of a cross
paths almost parallels). In green, the course I would like the etrex to show
me (the exact course), because it's more easy to follow without making
mistakes, or doubt in case of a very near path parallel to the original.
Regards
