Searching Waypoints near City is gone [Bug 112]

Unread post by ConiKost »

With firmware 10.90 and older, using Main menu -> Waypoint Manager -> Menu -> Search By -> City was not working, as after choosing City, all waypoints where shown without having an option to choose a city.

But with firmware 13.10, it looks like, that the whole menu "Seach By" was been removed. Any anyone confirm?

'Main Menu > Waypoint Manager > Menu > Search Near > A City' is still present in the menu for us, and still fails to produce a list of cities.

It looks like, that the firmware update from 10.90->13.10 messed things up. After doing a master reset, the menu is now shown back, but as you pointed out, not fixed.

Garmin told me, that this issue (Bug 112) will be fixed in the next firmware update, which is currently scheduled for august.

"Search near" does work.

Where to>hamburger>search near (e.g. a city)

But, this doesn't allow a "search near" for a waypoint
