Page sequence still messed up with V 8.80

The page sequence on this device is still not working properly with V 8.80 software. Currently I’m using the ribbon menu and everything works fine. Here is my working page sequence top to bottom. Shown below. Starting at the map page after power up. Now pressing the page button yields the correct sequence below and pressing the quit button reverses it. It works correctly.

Now I turn  off the ribbon menu, leaving the page sequence the same and pressing the page button now yields.

Only the ribbon menu works correctly. You get duplicates otherwise. This problem was first reported here four months ago, see the link below, using less menu pages. Garmin said then it most likely will not be fixed due to minimal impact, so I guess it’s now normal operation. Who wants to buy a new device?

  • Garmin says this problem will not be fixed as I was the only person to complain about it. It was however duplicated by others in a previous post. Garmin says they do not have the resources to fix it. The 67i still has bugs that I suspect will never be fixed as well. Probably my last Garmin unit too, as this is becoming all too common a response.
