Garmin Oregon 400t Issue

Recommended Posts

I noticed a problem with Beta version 3.15 when you select "Map" from the main menu. While looking at the map if you move it with your finger a sub-screen will appear of the map but moved to a different location. This screen freezes the compass and no matter which direction you move the GPSr, the compass direction (N) will move with the GPSr and not point to North. Anyone else seeing this problem?

If I'm getting your gist, your panning on your map screen right? And you'd like to use your compass while panning? Fairly certain your position/direction become locked while panning. Always has.

 

Xantos, I'm not trying to minimize your issue as we all use GPS's a little differently but I'm not sure of what practical purpose having a functional compass while panning the map would serve.

Actually the line that is drawn to my cache also freezes. Therefore if you are traveling east to the cache and you turn the GPSr 90 degrees, then the line to the cache moves 90 degrees also and now to follow the line to the cache, you are walking South instead of east which is the real direction to the cache. It's really hard to explain without showing someone. java script:emoticon(':mad:',%20'smid_2')

Yes but again - you have panned the map. I think that is why it will not update anymore.
