I have just sent the following to Garmin Technical assistance. Anyone
else noticed the same or is willing to experiment with their Vista to
see if they get the same problem?

(nb I am running version 3.20 but I have been having the same problem
since I first noticed it with 2.60 and up).


"I emailed you some weeks ago about this problem but have not yet
received a reply. In the meantime I think I have narrowed the source
of the problem down to a software bug.

Symptom: When I switch to the Navigation Screen the unit switches
itself off. I have to do a Master Reset to get the unit working
again.

Suspected cause: This happens *after* I change the bottom right
display on the Navigation Screen to show the Final Distance (from the
default Heading) then ask the unit to navigate a route.

Evidence: I have just toured Scotland for two weeks using the unit to
navigate routes with absolutely no problems. The unit was set up by
doing a Master Reset then downloading the routes and maps for my
Scotland trip. No other settings where changed (other than the Screen
Contrast). On my return, I made the one change described above and
*BINGO*.

As a workaround I can avoid making any settings changes but this is
obviously not ideal. I suspect there is also a related problem when I
change the Time to show London Time but I can live without this.

I would appreciate a prompt acknowledgement of this request for
assistance and look forward to a fix being made available in the near
future."
