The hard reset Garmin describe is the same as the Master Reset I have
been using to clear the problem. I have had to do this so many times,
I can probably now do them with my eyes shut and with boxing gloves
on.
However after a hard/master rest, I can then reproduce the problem at
will by changing the Navigation Screen settings to display Final
Distance in the bottom right hand area.
