It might not even matter if the sidepaths have been entered and connected. For long-distance routing, I believe that the Garmin Edge 705 completely ignores cycleways for the middle section of the route. Cycleways would only be considered for the first and last 5 kilometers or so.
Since the roads in Iceland are strange, I debugged some routing "errors", where I should go a way 1000km longer then the normal way. The problem is "road_class". It looks like, that at least the Garmin GPS 62s, at the beginning prefers increasing road_classes, and later decreasing ones. But in the middle, it is avoiding going up and down. So if you reach road_class=2, and there is a short cycleway with road_class=1, and a very long primary road with road_class=3, Garmin will use the very long primary road. Even if you route for shortest distance. I workarounded this by increasing the road_class of cycleways for my style.
