Hi guys,
I've joined to hopefully get some help, this is a strange problem that I have recently occured with my sat nav.
My sat nav is a rebranded (Bluetronics) Peaklife 3.5" gps, its a waterproof 'bike nav' running IGO8, the sat nav has its problems but generally is reliable enough to get me where I want to go (although depending on setting it has some strange route ideas sometimes!).
Running Nav n Go Igo 8 (8.3.4.102680
Anyway, the problem is that occasionally the sat nav goes into 'overview' and does not stick to 'turn by turn' directions as I expect, I turned automatic overview off but it didnt seem to help.
It looked almost as If i was looking at a ordnance survey map, which was really difficult when your travelling at 70mph.
I have updated the maps to 2012 Q4 Europe maps, and added custom poi of speed cameras which has been the only updates I've done..
It went into this mode on a big motorway (m25, I'm in the UK) and stayed in this mode despite telling me I needed to turn in x amount of feet, as well as this the unit would not remain central meaning the cursor was travelling up, to the side, and down roads as opposed to always heading straight when you turn into a new road.
This created a huge problem for me earlier as it told me I needed to turn but I had an overview of the map (2d) and my cursor was travelling DOWN the road as opposed to staying on top of it.
It does sound like this 'automatic overview' is enabling itself even when the unit has been told not to... is there a way to disable it on boot?:scratch_one-s_head_
I'm trying to simulate the route I took to see if i can replicate the fault for a picture but I hope you understand what I mean.
