I may be jumping on this possible bug too early but when I installed 3.70, the automobile routing wouldn't display its usual "250m turn right at xxxx Street" or "800m turn left at yyyy Avenue". Instead it would display "Continue to xxxx Street" or "Continue to yyyy Avenue".
 
I need it to work properly ASAP and couldn't afford misbehaving behaviour at this present time, and I knew it worked properly with 3.60. After reinstalling 3.60, the automobile routing once again displayed proper turn directions so I'm suspecting the automobile routing is broken in 3.70.
 
Again, I may be jumping on something prematurely, and I could be wrong, so take this as a heads-up just in case 3.70 has broken automobile routing. I'm sorry I can't provide more information than this as I only had 3.70 running for a very short time before reverting back to 3.60 so no print screens or anything.

It's probably my fault, but the dates in the subject were whack. I think I've fixed them, but I'm highly medicated with a lot on my mind. If they're still wrong, another mod can help or I'll fix it upon my return.

For posterity (and search...) the subject was "Oregon 7x0 Firmware 3.62 BETA Available 201701730. Released 201711207."

Thank You Robert!

I had noticed the subject line was edited, and could not make good sense of it at the time. 

As a technicality, the 3.62 beta was released 20171130, and the next non-beta version (3.70) was released 20171206. This information is available on the GPSrChive Oregon 7x0 Firmware page.

Thank You!

The "continue to" is what you see when you are a long way from the turn.  It should change to a number when you get closer.  It is not a bug.

I see the "Continue to ..." on a regular base when I have accidentaly two routable maps activated. After disabling all routable maps but one - I'm immediately seeing the distance button.

Glad to know I'm not going crazy! I've had the same problem all week, and didn't realize there had been a firmware update. I've always liked seeing the distance until the next turn displayed in the "Distance to next" box. Now, it's just a 0.

Ah, good to know I'm not the only one who's noted this routing bug in 3.7.
