Update from within BC works.

Just tested the link. Link works as expected. Not sure what you're seeing. I see the release notes for 4.5.0 and the download button downloads the 4.5.0 installer.

It is possible that because I am internal I am seeing the latest update. It make take a bit for the website to refresh to the outside.

4.5 is indeed online now; it wasn't up to a minute ago.

Updated to 4.5 on my laptop, connected my Fenix 3, clicked on the "Internal Storage" folder, and get 'This List Is Empty' bottom left. The Fenix 3 has activities, courses and saved locations on it, why don't they show, do I need Fenix 3 s/w version 4.21? Is it available yet, latest is 4.2 ??

BC 4.5 crashes every time I open a trip in Trip Planner which has more stops than will fit in the left pane. When the trip is opened everything looks OK but any atempt to scroll the list to view the rest of the stops will cause a crash.

To reproduce: open a longish trip in Trip Planner, wait the looong time it takes to read the data, and when it's done click on the scrollbar or the bottom arrow... crash. Every time.

This is a show stopper for me because I have more than 50 trips I can no longer work on. :(

I followed your steps and I was unable to reproduce. Think you could send the data to us that you are having trouble with? [email][email protected][/email]. It will come right to me.

Having seen this

•Added postal code searches for supported map products

in the changelog I had my hopes up, only to be partly dashed.

Doing a Ctrl + Alt + F and entering a postcode in the postcode box and a number in the street number box still fails. Doing a Ctrl + Alt + A does work though. Why does one work and the other not?

Additionally doing Ctrl + Alt + A and entering just a street number and postcode into the address form then puts the street number in the search box top right followed by the postcode, but bypassing Ctrl + Alt + A and simply entering the street number followed by the postcode in the search box doesn't work :confused:

So a small improvement but still some tidying up to do.

Edit: What has now changed is a separate radio button in the address search menu, selecting this does get a correct postcode search. Now there just needs to be consistency so that however the data is entered the same result is achieved.
