Hi all, I wonder if this is a problem that is specific for maps generated with mkgmap : When I chose a track as target for routing the track is displayed as a magenta line. When I follow this track on my bicycle the device sometimes fails to render the map, as a result large areas are flooded with magenta . The device is an Oregon 450t. The problem disappears when I move a few meters or chose a different zoom level. I'm never able to reproduce the problem at home, so I guess it is related to the movement, maybe combined with low batteries. I did not yet try if the latest changes regarding MapSplitter improved this. Did anybody else see this effect in original Garmin maps? Any idea what the reason is? Gerd

Hi Patrik, I also see this from time to time, but I think it happens only when I touch the display so that the device switches into a different mode. I don't know how Garmin calls it, I call it move mode. In this mode the device shows a small arrow in the bottom left corner, and it is no longer changing the map center to my position. Could this be your case?

'unfortunately' also with mkgmap created maps (fzk) as I normally don't use the official garmin ones: If I look at the garmin after a while in action (moving) it happens from time to time that the displayed recorded track (my actual movment) diplays wrong. It does not display my real movement but just has a straight line from somewhere off the map to the actual position.... as soon as the display get's updated (because it's turning due to my movment) or I zoom in/out it's displayed correctly again... Actually I've noticed this only on the 450t not on any other garmins I use with the same maps (eTrex 30, Monterra).... if I remember correctly. Not sure if it's the same, a similare or a complete other issue.... Cheers Patrik Gesendet: Dienstag, 25.
