Garmin introduced new bugs again with v3.70.
When navigating some Data fields don't work:
  • Distance to Next shows 0m all the way
  • Distance to Destination doesn't decrease
I am not sure about some other fields because there is a difference when Tracklog is On or Off and I don't remember if this is normal behaviour or not.
When Tracklog is Off Data fields like Trip Odometer, Activity Distance, Moving Avg and Overall Avg all show 0 when navigating.

I was finally able to get out and do some testing today, and found the 'Distance to Next' data field staying always at zero, however my 'Distance to Destination' did appear to function correctly.

I will be testing some more later this week.

The problems are confirmed on forum.gps.nl, 'Distance to Destination' is reported to decrease once every few minutes or so. Someone contacted Garmin, they say they are aware of the problem and they are working on it.
Firmware version 3.60 should be ok.
