Automatically changing to map view from Trip Computer

[gallet]

I like the way that the HCx can be in trip computer mode and auto-routing at the same time, when a turn aproaches it automatically switches to the close up turn view. I'm disappointed to find the Colorado does not do this, it just stays at the Trip Computer view.

 

I was wondering if the Oregon behaves like the HCx/60CSx or like the Colorado in this respect.

The OR/CO behave the same way.

 

Turn-by-turn details are only visible if you are on the map page (and you aren't panning).

 

It's a common request on the new units and listed as missing feature in the wikis.

I wonder if we'll ever get these features. I mean here they have this amazing hi res screen and when I check the tide tables there's not graphic like the HCx just the raw numbers. Is there some groundswell that will make Garmin add missing features? have you heard any rumours from Garmin that they *will* add more missing software features?

While I'm here how does the compass work on the colorado, I can't tell if it is working from gps or when it is working from the fluxgate. Is it possible to tell?
