tritone123 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Device: Garmin eTrex 30. Firmware: 2.90. Copy some tracks on this device. They are obviously hidden on the map. Make them visible in the Track Manager („Show on Map”). Than make them invisible („Hide on Map”). Reboot the device (power off and power on): Every track will be visible again. The („Hide on Map” setting is not persistent. Quote Link to comment

wmarek1974 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I used to, but recently they are deaf... Could you leave here confirmation that now i.e. this week this address works as should? Quote Link to comment
Grasscatcher Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Here's something to try.... What works to fix the reverse problem (tracks NOT showing after a power cycle when you WANT them to) is to go into setup,maps,advanced, Detail...change to more or most. "Normal" won't show after power cycle. I'm speaking from 78S,Oregon 550, Montana 650 workings.... I don't know if it's the same on a "30" Try messing with different profiles and the combination of settings between show/hide and the detail level. Sounds like it's something about your settings because otherwise it would seem to be that your's is "defaulting" to "show on map", which would be odd. Normally "default" is hidden (not showing). Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
tritone123 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 I've repeated the test, and sorry, I have to disagree. This is definitely a bug, a 2.90 bug: 1) My first post: „Copy some tracks on this device. They are obviously hidden on the map. Make them visible in the Track Manager („Show on Map”). Than make them invisible („Hide on Map”). Reboot the device (power off and power on): Every track will be visible again. The „Hide on Map” setting is not persistent.” -> So the default behavior is hidden (not showing) until the first „Show on Map” act. 2) I made my tests with a hard reseted unit. Every custom profile was deleted, and the hard reset reverted the default „Recreational” profile to the factory's default value. 3) I cannot reproduce this bug with 2.8 firmware. So this is definitely a bug of the 2.9 firmware. Quote Link to comment

In todays Oregon x50 FW update http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4523 we can also find the one: Changes made from version 6.10 to 6.20: Improved map performance in densely-populated urban areas. Fixed trail searching when using multiple active routing maps. Fixed issue with saving a track's 'show on map' status across a power cycle. Fixed issue with displaying tracks on the map after performing an area calculation. Fixed potential shutdown when viewing certain tracks or routes in German or Russian. Fixed minor graphical issue with certain data fields on the map. Quote Link to comment
tritone123 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Thank you, wmarek74. I've just received a reply-email from eTrex.Beta@garmin.com : „This will be fixed in the next release. Thanks for the information. -etrex team”. So the eTrex.Beta@garmin.com address is a real, existent recipient Quote Link to comment

tritone123 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Tritone 123, I've just sent Ya private request. Sorry, but I don't really understand. A private message for me? I haven't received any messages until now. PostScript: Oh, an email. OK Edited March 21, 2013 by tritone123 Quote Link to comment
+gcfishguy Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Maybe someone can figure how to use this glitch as a 'hack' to enable you to set all tracks as "Show On Map"....I have a ton of ATV trails on mine, and am constantly editing them on the PC and reloading them, so it's a PAIN to have to go into each one, and set it to show. The top item on my wishlist is a way to set all to "Show On Map", or to be able to set it as a parameter of the track in Basecamp so it's always shown on the GPSr after export. Quote Link to comment
