Favorites dashboard MIA
Posted: Sat Jun 17, 2017 7:52 pm
Hi all, I just received my Oregon 700 today, it will replace my old 600.
Since I like the way my 600 was setup I chose the Classic mode on the 700.
I also wanted to enable the 'Favorites' Dashboard with some shortcuts on the Map page but to my surprise it isn't available anymore.
This was a surprise to me because I succesfully created my shortcuts and added them to Menu > Favorites.
I started reading the manual and on page 12/13 I found exactly the description of adding shortcuts to the Favorites!
There are two possibilities now:
1 Garmin removed the Favorites Dashboard but forgot to remove it on other locations in the firmware and the manual.
2 Garmin forgot to add the Favorites Dashboard to the Dashboard list.
I was hoping the 700 would be more stable than the 600 in terms of sudden shutdowns or freezing screens but when playing with the settings for an hour or so I had several shutdowns! Restarting works faster than with the 600 but nevertheless I didn't expect the software to be so instable after one year of updates.
My Oregon 700 is running v3.30 in classic mode.
