4.70 - map selections are not saved in profiles

Unread post by sussamb »

There appears to be a bug in 4.70 in that map selections are not saved in profiles. If you set them in one profile, then change profile, then return the map selection has changed. Normally I back up all the various update files (these are the ones that end in .gcd in the Garmin folder on the device) but it seems I've missed the recent ones relating to 4.60 and 4.50, so if anyone has either the gcd file for (preferably) 4.60 or else 4.50 I'd appreciate a copy. Thanks.

Just to close this I reverted but there was no change. Deleted all the profiles and started again which cured the issue, seems like somehow they'd got corrupted. Lesson to myself, back up profiles before any update in future so they can be reloaded if corrupted by an update!

So then are you running 4.70 without issue after creating new profile?
