I can confirm this bug on my Oregon 700 v3.90. I have many custom POI in different categories and in every category the first two entries show the same distance and direction.Unrelated to routing, I've noticed my first two POIs listed (under the Extras menu) always show the same distance and direction. At first I thought my CSV import contained duplicate coordinates, but CSV file contents are correct. It appears to be a bug in the way POIs are displayed in the list. The good news is that navigation to either POI still result in correct route calculations, so it's not a showstopper, it's just a small annoyance.

I also notice some additional POI entries in that same list show inaccurate/incorrect distance and bearing information.

Re: Where To? > Extras POI bug
I have determined the entire distance/bearing database has been duplicated and offset by one position in the list, causing each POI to display the actual distance and bearing for the POI directly preceding in the list.

Re: Where To? > Extras POI bug
This bug is solved with the new firmware v4.00 that was released today. I checked it and it looks OK now.
- Fixed issue with the wrong distance and bearing displayed for GPI lists.
