kinder1 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 We went out caching today in cheshire. I put my co into the (Garmin 60csx) and of we went, or so I thought.It was sending me one way (by rd which I wasn't going)then continually trying to recalculate the route and it kept doing this throughout the drive to the first co.What I did was to turn it off,then on again when we were futher down the road and reroute. Same problem, it just kept trying to recalculate the route and bleeping (which is a real pain). Just as I remember it doing last week in wales on Angelsey. Go on tell me what I have done wrong, Please. Quote Link to comment
+Team XL5 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Do you mean you want the unit to do Point-to-Point navigation rather than routing by road? The unit should prompt whether you want to "Follow Road" or "Off road" when you start the navigation. If it isn't prompting, you can change this in the set-up menu. See page 71 in the manual.

kinder1 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 sorry for not explaining properly. Yes routing by road Following the road but when the point to point route comes up and you set of on the route it keeps rerouting or trying to reroute again recalculating the route. does that make any more sense?

+Team XL5 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 One other thing to check is that you have the latest firmware and application software on the unit (the early versions are a bit buggy). Go to Garmin website here: http://www.garmin.com/products/webupdater/howtoinstall.jsp Download the Webupater and run it twice, first to load the latest firmware, then again to update the application part.

+whitecrow Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 (edited) If you do not follow the calculated route, the unit will try to recalculate every time you go past a turn. Edited July 31, 2006 by whitecrow Quote Link to comment
kinder1 Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Stora The only map I have at present is what it came with and a topo Great Britian. Whitecrow Yes it continually recalculates, but it doesn't change to a new route.It's just keeps trying to recalculate a route. It's only just started doing this. Again I apologise for not explaining what happened very well. Quote Link to comment
