Round-Trip function uses wrong error text with TopoActive

Unread post by ConiKost »

If use have TopoActive enabled and try to use the Round-Trip function, you will get with Automotive/Motorbike/ATV profile only "Route calculation error". This message is missleading, since routing is disabled by Garmin with such profiles on TopoActive.

If you are using a simple A->B route via Where To?, you get a normal speaking message, which explains, why it's not possible. This messsage should be also used in Round-Trip function, instead of that short error message.

Very astute observation, we have made sure the Garmin software engineers will see it after returning from the winter holiday.

Thank You!
