Bug: elevation profile map display issue [Bug 70]

Unread post by paulxtr »

(Sorry for the long-winded explanation!)

1) Pick a Recorded Activity or Saved Track
2) Select the Elevation Profile tab
3) Press keypad down.
4) An cursor appears on the lower of the two elevation profiles. The cursor can be moved between the upper and lower elevation profiles with keypad up/down.
5) The cursor can be moved left and right along the selected elevation profile with keypad left/right.
6) Select Menu > View Map to view the map at the current location of the cursor.
7) Press Quit to return to the elevation profile tab.
8) Keypad up/down moves the cursor between the two elevation profiles again.

I would expect that pressing keypad left/right would move the cursor along the elevation profile, but instead it navigates to the next/previous tab.

I would suggest that this is a bug and you should have to press Quit at this point before Keypad left/right selects the next/previous tab.

Currently using firmware 3.40 but the bug has been present since at least firmware 3.00

Hi.
with software 4.70 it seems to me that Bug 70 is resolved for the View Map.
But, going out of the Adjusting zoom ranges unfortunately still makes unit to jump/cycle between tabs.

Garmin express just updated the unit to software 4.70, but again without any release notes. I am in Europe and guess it will be available soon every where else. The same happened with 4.20, i got an update and others were not yet seeing it.
