[gps-talkusers] Re: following a route

It's interesting about the curvy streets, Charles, because we have quite a lot around the routes I travel ...
I sure wish we could make some choice in the routes we take. When I know which way I want to go, I often have to plan more than one route to take me and this is less convenient and, I have to know this and it's not down to the GPS.
Incidentally, in case it should help anyone, I was looking up a route last night which was about 140 miles. I was told the route was long and said I still wanted to do it ... but the PK was unable to do so. I did a soft reset and went through the process again and this time was successful. It would have been worth doing that reset before loading the GPS in the first place as I lost a few minutes in calculating! 

Have a good day everyone!

Hi Sue, the latest version is GPS 4.22, it tells you as soon as you
go into the program what version is running.

There is currently an outstanding issue on some curvy streets where
the system thinks you are off route.  This is a known issue and one
we hope to fix in future releases.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Charles.

Hello,

This weekend I used my GPS version 4.5 and the m-power to navigate
from my house to Sonora California.  I had several problems, first,
it wanted to send us one way and we wanted to go highway 16 to
49.  It kept recalculating the trip.  When I was following the route
it often said off route.  The road was curvy but it wouldn't figure
out where I was on the route.  Maybe I have something set wrong.  My
m-power just came back from servicing and getting a new battery.  At
least I think it's running the latest version of GPS.  How do I
check to be sure of the version? Thanks.

Sue Mangis
