Edit Route: 'Search Area > Enter City' doesn't work [Bug 74]

Unread post by ConiKost »

I guess, we have a new Bug on Montana 700 series. If you edit a route and want to add an address with search area, it won't work. Instead, it returns to main menu of route. Firmware 9.20.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a simple route and add 2-3 points. (It does not matter, which points you add)
2) Switch back to main menu
3) Open 'Route Planer' on main menu.
4) Choose previously created route.
5) Choose 'Edit Route'.
6) Choose 'Select Next Point'
7) Choose 'Addresses'
8) Choose 'Search Area'
9) Choose 'Enter City'
10) Instead of choosing a City, you are now being back at the main menu of the choosen route.

Note: This bug only happens, if you already saved a route and open it afterwards to modify again. If you use this function, while creating this route for the first time, this bug does not occur.

Garmin replied, that they are following up on the issue and will report back once they have more information, but they were able to replicate.

Garmin: An upcoming software update, which we are hoping to be out sometime later this year, should resolve this issue.
