Where To? can't be sorted by touch

Unread post by ConiKost »

I noticed, that main menu and settings menu can be sorted via touch (long press an icon to move it). As an alternative, this can be done manually via Setup -> Menus. But it looks like, that this does not work for Where To?, which only can be sorted manually with Setup -> Menus. Bug? Feature?

Not really a bug or a feature, just a missed opportunity at best.

I do not like that you can change the icon locations by drag 'n drop on those pages, as I found during some activities while gripping the device in different ways to ensure I did not drop it actually resulted in some unwanted menu changes.

I personally prefer having to enter a setup menu to make menu sequence changes, but that is only my preference.

I'll send this information along, but am not expecting a response.

Thank you for the keen observations!

Yeah, sorry. With feature, I meant more feature request :-)

This could be easily fixed by providing an option "lock icons" in main hamburger menu. I know such feature from other non Garmin devices.

I guess, it depends. If I have to move an icon from bottom to top, this is really annoying, since I have to press 20-30 times the icon in menu and then choose move up :D But If I only want to change one position, this works fast and is okay.

Thank you. I also don't expect any change from Garmin here.
