Oregon 300 not updating distance.....


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have the newest software on my Oregon 300 and ever since having this unit I have noticed a weird problem. When viewing the map page and navigating to a Geocache, the distance to destination does not update when I get close to the cache, lets say under 50m. It just locks at a certain distance, lets say 43m and does not update even though I am closing the distance to the cache. The only way I can get it to update is to close the map (And as soon as I press the X on the map page, the distance updates just a split second before the screen closes) and reopen it.

 

Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a way to fix it??

Under "Setup" -> "Routing", do you have "Lock on Road" turned on? If so, that may be the problem. Try turning it off and see if you get the same results.

I've seen this occasionally with current beta 3.01, and older versions as well. There could be some thing to lock on road settings, but I see it in my Geocaching profile with lock on road off. I just changed my navigation setting to 'pedestrian'. I'll try to report back to see if that helps.

 

I usually just stop for a few seconds when I see a hang like that, and it will 'catch up'.
