'Find Next Closest' navigates to previous cache [Bug 6]

Unread post by Sibstr »

I discovered a new bug. When I find a geocache and mark it as found, I have a choice of "Done" or "Navigate to the next cache". When I select option "Navigate to next cache" eTrex starts navigating to the nearest cache, but it doesn't care if the cache is found or not. So the eTrex navigates to the cache that I just found because it is logically the closest. Correctly, the eTrex should navigate to the nearest not found cache, but it doesn't.
I use Geocaching Live and FW 3.51

I think every single Garmin device with this capability has had this bug. If anything, they are very consistent. Reported to Garmin as GPSrChive > eTrex SE > Common Issues > Bug 6.

Thank you!
