+Kayak Kouple Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have noticed this happen to my 60CSX 2 times & I am wondering if anyone else has had the same problem & if there is a fix.... I have set a goto to a certain cache....when at GZ I have set the gps down to let it settle down & have searched for the cache.....After a short time I return to look at what it say & the compass needle is gone & all other info is not there as if I had turned off the goto This has happen to me twice like I've said & would like to know if this is something I should be alarmed about or not.. Another question.....When I am following a route I have entered into my GPS if I go off that route to look for a cache along the way & go back to the route It has me go back way to the beginning of the route.....Anyway of fixing this Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
+gpsfun Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have encountered this issue as well, and have been assuming I have bumped the enter button while the found action is highlighted. Perhaps that has not been the case, so I will be interested in responses to this topic. Quote Link to comment

There's no set distance for this. It seems to use some speed/distance algorithm to determine arrival. Edited November 20, 2008 by Prime Suspect Quote Link to comment

+gpsfun Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 If Follow Road is chosen, that selection persists no matter whether the map screen, compass screen, or any other screen is being displayed. Quote Link to comment
