Etrex 30x can't make routes

Hello all,
Sorry for posting here, but unfortunately no etrex forum (on german forum they have....)
So I have an Etrex 30X and it has been unstable as hell.
Etrex 30x: SOftware 3.0 (latest according to Garmin Express)
Maps: from the original TOpoActive that came with it, to Latest 2020.10 Topoactive that was available with Garmin Express, to openfietsmaps lite

Some times when I try routing from some place to my home adress it takes their time to calculate the routes and then gives me an error saying "This route doens't match the maps available.Cannot follow the routes preciseily. Do you want to recalculate the route?".
If I click yes it gives the following error "Route calculation error. Maps do not have rootable roads in this area"

Before you ask, all maps are routeable, in the past I didn't had problems.
I just have one map active
I was on a national road,...it was seen on the map
I had routing setup has described here: http://www.aukadia.net/gps/lw3_00.htm except to not avoid unpaved roads
Even tried swtiching profiles (to bike for example).

I don't know what more to do.
I even tried to contact support (because in some situations the etrex turns off) but I don't have answer.

Thanks all for the support.

Sorry this will not help much but is what I'd try first - install and Open map which is easy to do - refer to one of the other topics in the link you gave: "Living with a Garmin: Put an OSM Map on your Garmin (and/or Mapsource)" Then switch off the TopoActive and try the open map.

Although I cannot speak to the Etrex, typically, TopoActive maps are not road-routable. Even though they are based on OSM. Nobody knows why.

Since I have this unit all topoactive were routeable...Only now it is acting like this

Hi 3799751, I'm closing this thread since we don't have a category for the eTrex 30x, however, I'd be happy to help you with this. I have sent you a PM to confirm your email address on your Garmin account.
