Profiles and Data Fields - Bug or Feature

Unread post by TeZ »

Hello everyone,
I'm a proud owner of a Garmin GPSMAP 65s, (Fw. 4.60).
With my old Oregon 450 I used to create custom profiles by changing the list of data fields on the various screens (e.g. to have differentiated fields in navigation and hiking).
I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if it is normal, but in some screens (Compass, Trip Computer) I can customize the data fields by profile, in others (Map, Elevation Plot) the data fields remain the same by changing profile. And if I change a data field in one profile it also changes in the same position in all others.
Is this normal? Have you ever detected this?
Thank you in advance and Best Regards.

It is the same here. I am not sure if it is a bug or a featurre, but the firmmware isn't free of bugs, so I can imagine this is one of them. The profile settings even work not reliently for map settings. When I enable one type of maps and disable all others, it sometimes happens that some others are enabled. Maybe that happens when changing to other profiles but I couldn't verify this yet.
