Colorado Question

[FuNdyFaMiLy]

Well I've loaded Canadian topos on my colorado, and was zooming in on a local lake.

no description of the lake appeared. hmmm

So I grabbed my father in laws 76csx, with Canadian tops (same version) and checked the same lake and a name appeared.

 

And ideas, am I missing a setting on the colorado?... or maybe did something wrong when I downloaded to my sd card?

 

I'd think both units would provide same info.

 

Any help would be apreciated

 

Thanks

Mark,

Have you installed firmware version 2.4, which is the latest firmware version? If not, that is probably the cause of the lack of a description of the lake.

I have noticed that sometimes I have street names and at other times I don't. Perhaps I have a bug after all.

Anyone else notice this?

Yep, same here. The name of the lakes around here don't appear. Also the rivers only appear when they are a thin line. Anything bigger and no name is displayed.

I too am up to date with the firmware.

Does anyone know if Garmin is aware of this problem?

There is something in the settings which shows labels at a given height.

 

Setup

Map

Options (Soft Key)

Advanced

Zoom Levels

 

then select what type of label, then the level you want the label to appear at.

 

Hope this is the answer to your question

I played around with those setting and still no difference when you hover over a lake or a bigger river.
