Selecting tracks for showing on map freezes device [Crash 7]

Unread post by ConiKost »

If you open the menu for choosing the tracks to show on map, the whole unit will just freeze and you need to take the battery out.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Select 'Saved Tracks'
2) Menu -> 'Show on Map'

Now the whole device freezes, while showing the tracks, where you could enable them for showing on map.

Easily duplicated and posted to GPSrChive > Montana 7x0 > Common Issues > Crash 7.

Garmin have been notified.

BTW, You do not have to remove the batteries to restart the device. You can hold the power button in for ~10 seconds to achieve the same result.

Yes, but IMHO its easier to put out the battery but pushing that button for 10 seconds.
