Routing problems in 5.40 and 5.50.
Posted: Wed Apr 10, 2019 9:46 pm
Suppose I want to move from point A (where I am) to point B (let's say 1000 meters away) on map.
To do this I will perform the following steps:
1- On the Main menu, press "Map".
2- On the "Map" menu scroll the map to find the target, point B.
3- Press on point B on map.
4- A "bubble" box, (containing a description and distance to point B), opens on top of page.
5- Press on the "bubble" box and more text and the "Go" button appears.
6- Press the "Go" button.
7- In less than a second the route is calculated and ready.
This works fine with FW 5.30 and that is the way I want it to work.
If FW 5.40 is installed, the following occur:
- When I press the "bubble" box in step 5, a spinning (supposed to spin) wheel, text and a "Go" button appear.
- If and when I press the "Go" button, nothing happens until after 18 seconds, then the route is ready.
If FW 5.50 is installed, the following occurs:
- When I press the "bubble" box in step 5, description and a "Go" button appear.
- There is no way to get anything to happen until after 35 seconds.
- Screen seems locked and it has happened that the Oregon freezes and must be restarted by battery off/on.
I have diagnosed this by downgrade FW 5.50 step by step.
For me, I will stay with 5.30 forever, unless Garmin fixes it in a future update.
Would kindly ask someone, still following this forum, to confirm my findings and comment on them.
Thanks.
