'Select Map' menu shows some maps wrong [Bug 101]

Unread post by ConiKost »

Firmware v10.80:

When using 'Select Map' function, some maps are being wrongly shown.

The map 'Winter Activity Map Europe v6' is being shown 9 times.
One unknown map is being shown blank. I suspect this could be the BlueChart G3 HXEU060R map, as it's the only map not shown otherwise.

The 'Select Map' function can be for example found in: Where To? -> Addresses -> Search Area -> Enter City -> Green Button -> Menu -> Select Map.

Just a quick update: It looks like, that only the map choose fuction in adresses is affected, as in other categories, like fuel station, it works correctly.

Can anyone confirm, that this function has been simply dropped? I don't have that map choose menu anymore in addresses?

Please discard this. It's still present. But Garmin did now replied, that this won't be fixed. It's classifed as 'Experience Issue' and is very unlikly to be fixed in future.

While this is not fixed (as expected) in 16.50, they seem to added a new option "Use Best Maps" there, which was not present in older firmware versions?
