+qlenfg Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Anyone got the auto zoom to work on the Colorado 300 base map? Didn't try it with the 2.3 firmware, and it doesn't seem to work on the 2.4 firmware. Haven't loaded any maps yet. On older units I have, when you set them to navigate to a waypoint, the map zooms out to show both your current position and the waypoint, and as you get closer, it zooms in to keep both on the screen. I've tried it on the 300 with both a cache and a waypoint and the zoom level stays where it was set originally. I pretty sure I have it set to auto zoom, ( Setup > Map > Auto Zoom > On) and I have even toggled the feature off and back on in case the setting got farkled during the firmware upgrade, but no joy. This is on a custom profile I set up for geocaching, with the zoom level for user waypoints set to 0.5 miles. I just tried the same thing with the automotive profile with the default settings (all zoom levels set to auto) and it still does not zoom. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 This works good when you select a geocache and stay in geocache mode (which is how I use it). I don't think autozoom works on the standard map screen. --Marky Quote Link to comment
+SnoWake Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Agreed - I'm seeing the same behavior. Auto Zoom seems to work correctly on the 'geocaching' page (combo cache summary, bearing pointer, and map). It's only if you select a "Go To Location", which puts you in a fixed-zoom, full-screen map that it doesn't seem to work. Quote Link to comment
+qlenfg Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 OK, so we're on the same page with this. Probably something Garmin needs to fix as this would make it easier to navigate, especially in a car -- no need to fiddle with the zoom while driving. Quote Link to comment
