Searching Waypoints near City is gone [Bug 112]

Unread post by ConiKost »

With firmware 10.90 and older, using Main menu -> Waypoint Manager -> Menu -> Search By -> City was not working, as after choosing City, all waypoints where shown without having an option to choose a city.

But with firmware 13.10, it looks like, that the whole menu "Seach By" was been removed. Any anyone confirm?

'Main Menu > Waypoint Manager > Menu > Search Near > A City' is still present in the menu for us, and still fails to produce a list of cities.

It looks like, that the firmware update from 10.90->13.10 messed things up. After doing a master reset, the menu is now shown back, but as you pointed out, not fixed.

"Search near" does work.

Where to>hamburger>search near (e.g. a city)

But, this doesn't allow a "search near" for a waypoint
