GPS V Question -- paging through Lists

[+jollybgood]

I noticed in the GPSV documentation today that when scrolling through long lists (like waypoints, waypoint icons, points of interest,etc) you can jump to the next page by pushing the Rocker Button to the left or right.

Kewl feature but the trouble is it doesn't work.

 

On my GPSV I have to scroll all the way through such lists. The page up/down feature just isn't working.

 

I'm wondering if anyone else has got it to work?

This feature is described on page 10 on the bottom of the sidebar in the QUICK START GUIDE.

 

"...using the Left/Right portion of the Rocker Keypad will scroll information one full screen at a time."

It doesn't work on mine either... Hopefully it'll be fixed in the new version of the firmware.

Doesn't work on mine either. Thought I was loosing it there for awhile. I was positive I had read it was supposed to do that. Glad I'm not the only one!!

My old GPSMAP 76 used to do this and I thought it was a great idea. I was bummed out to find that it was broken on the GPS V.

 

The "GPS V Quirks" thread here in the forum had accumulated plenty of other bugs as well.

 

A better revision of firmware is most anticipated!

I feel better knowing it's not my unit.

 

I would have sworn it worked before I upgraded my firmware but I can't be certain.

 

Hopefully 2.03 will fix all the bugs. The fact that it's late in coming may be a good sign. Maybe they're taking their time and doing it right.

 

Or... it could mean it's all screwed up.

My Garmin Streetpilot III can page down the way you describe but my GPS V does not. That would lead me to believe that it is a software issue. Seeing Garmin knows how to make it work that way, maybe the next software update will fix it.
