Archived tracks cannot be deleted

Unread post by ConiKost »

I noticed with firmware 15.00, that tracks, which have been saved into the track archive (automatically saved or manually moved to archive), cannot be deleted anymore. While the menu asks, if you want to delete a track from trackarchive, pressing confirmation does not anything. The track remains present.

Solved, Garmin Explore was the cause, somehow it was enabled and messed everything up with tracks. Actually I try to keep it disable, no clue, why it was enabled.

Please clarify.

When your Montana was connected to Explore on your mobile device, you were unable to delete archived tracks on the device?

After disconnecting from Explore Mobile, archived tracks can again be deleted?

Yes. And also enabled Explore caused data loss, when a track has been moved from track favorites to track archive.

Please explain how the data loss occurred in more detail.

An Archived Track, correct?

Just one? All? You only had one?

It looks like, that this was fixed by a master reset *sigh*..

I'm currently having a similar problem. I'm not connecting to Explore at all but cannot delete tracks which are automatically archived. (S/w version 15.2).
