[Garmin Oregon Wiki]

I stumbled upon a bug that freezes the Oregon completely, it’s battery out to recover.

 

To reproduce: View the altitude profile of a planned route. Zoom in on both scales so that the whole profile is seen and the height variations are clearly shown.

Now pan the profile sideways back and forth several times and notice how the profile flattens until it’s a flat line and the Oregon dies.

 

Time to take out the batteries.

 

Version 2.30

 

I have tried it and got the same. But I could switch the oregon on without removing the batteries

[OREGON - Dashboard on Tripcomputer-Page]

What I miss on the tripcomputer is that the tripcomputer doesn't change when you change from profile.

I have made tree profiles Automotive, Walking and bicycling. When I switch profile I would like to see that the values that are in the tripcomputer are changed to the values where you have ended with when you moved away from the profile.

I have seen that when I was walking and walked for 10 km and stepped in my car and switched to automotive the tripcomputer continues to add on the 10 km. I more or less have lost all the figures from the trip I made walking.

Maybe this is an option Garmin can make.

how do you guys think about this?
