Adding Via Point with 'Use Map' doesn't work within 'All POIs'

Unread post by ConiKost »

If you plan a simple A->B route and try to add afterwards a via point using 'Use Map' function, this will always fail, because it reports 'Only 50 points can be used for On Road navigation'. This is clearly wrong, as adding one via point can't break that limit.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open 'Where To?'
2) Choose 'All POIs'
3) Choose menu (three lines)
4) Choose 'Spell Search'
5) Enter something to search
6) Choose an item (It does not matter which one)
7) Press 'Go'
8) Open 'Where To?' again
9) Choose 'Set Via Point'
10) Choose 'Use Map'
11) Choose some street on the map (It does not mapper which one)
12) Instead of adding the via point, you now get the message 'Only 50 points can be used for On Road navigation'

Maybe Garmin starts me paying as a beta tester *sigh*... :roll:

We have been experiencing this same message and behavior when trying to add via points to any route. It is not limited to any single POI category.

Good to know. At least, I was not able to reproduce, if not using 'All POIs'. But who knows.

It has been erratic, yet regular for me, and I am still trying to nail down what exactly is setting it off.

Yes, I noticed, that I am not able to reproduce that way anymore. This is really strange.

Still not able to reproduce with firmware 10.50, so I guess, it's fixed or some race condition.

I guess, this is covered by the Bug 77, which has been fixed 10.80. I cannot reproduce this anymore. Works fine.
