No Avoidance Setup?

Unread post by lukas12p »

Hi
I have received new unit in end of 2022 (guaranty replace) and now trying to setup it for trip.
There is no Avoidance Setup available in Advanced Routing Settings.
Firmware 16.50 and map CN Europe NT 2024.10 Eastern. I have made factory reset.

Configure:

Setup > Routing > Direct Routing = 'No'

and

Setup > Routing > Activity <> 'Prompted'

Additional information available at GPSrChive > Montana 7x0.

Yes, I have it like that, it is default setting.

Direct Routing = no
Activity = prompted
Course navigation method = direct path
Course alerts = on
Popularity routing = off

Advanced setup:
Lock on road = no
calculation method = prompted

that is all I can setup in "routing"

Please read my previous post again.

'Activity' can not be set to 'Prompted'

Fantastic!

You need to select each activity, one at a time, and configure avoidance options as desired for that activity, then do the next activity, etc.

Then select 'Prompted', and when you select an activity in the field, it will use the avoidance prefrences you have pre-configured.
