OK guys, I need serious help with the Garmin Mobile XT. I am using version 4.10.80. I believe this is the latest. Regardless version, I still face this problem.

Example:

You need to travel NORTH 5km and turn right. When you stopped at a traffic light, the arrow (pointer) on the map turns round and round in circle. Then randomly, it points SOUTH and start RECALCULATING for an alternate route to the same location by the South way.


Is there any settings that will allow me to 100% sure guarantee that the arrow only points in ONE direction? Hope someone is able to help me fix this cause the moment it goes in circle and recalculate every time, it makes my parents doubt the accuracy of GPS.

Any idea how this can be done? I am assuming you have a N82 as well so perhaps you can provide me a step by step, if you dont mind. I have played with every single settings in the GMXT.

One part I noticed that will make differences to the arrow pointing issue I spoke off is SETTING > MAP > ORIENTATION >
1. 3 Dimensional
2. North Up
3. Track Up <-- could it be this option?

Hey there,

It's been a while since I came back to this N82 topic. Yes, I am using N82 with GMXT 4.10.80. It fixed the whole pencil tool issue with SMS, which is great but it's still bugged.

I did follow the track suggested. I was at a traffic light. It was red so I stopped. While I was NOT moving, the arrow went on rotating pointing towards the opposite direction I am facing. It points to the back while we are facing the front, then it kept saying recalculating, etc. That's the problem I encountered, not that I purposely went against the suggested track.

Does it happen to you? Any idea how to fix this problem?

I dont have that auto-rotation cause Garmin to hang problem. I am still using the old map when the GMXT guide was first posted. I believe it's June 2007 map. I am fine with that. I know we can easily gain access to new map by suggesting 2 POIs but then I am too lazy to do it.

I am trying to play with the settings and see how it goes. Will update you guys tomorrow if I found anything from the messing with the configurations. Thanks for replying, man.

Lai lai... I trade, top up 1k please... Hehehe...

Lol... he's my fren la, real life fren but havent spoken to for a long time. Just playing around with him. Thanks for the warning though.
