Pressing button "Go" too long makes it stop working [Bug 130]

Unread post by ConiKost »

It looks like, that a new bug got introduced in firmware 14.80. If you press somewhere on the map a marker, choose on top the highlighted position, you will find yourself in the sub menu to start the navigation by pressing "Go".

If you press too long (I think 0,5 sec are enough) the Go button, it becomomes unusable. It won't do anything. You can only go back to map then. But if you press instead the "Go" button as short as possible, it works and navigation starts.

I too can recreate this. After pressing the Go button again a few times seems to make it work. Not ideal.

Seems a little bit better in 16.50, but not fixed, as it still sometimes happens.
