GPSMAP H1 – Distance to Destination does not decrease correctly (Software 13.07)

empe

I have noticed an issue with the Distance to Destination data field on my GPSMAP H1 running software version 13.07.

During two separate walking activities, one started via Komoot Connect IQ and the other via Garmin Explore iOS, both with routing disabled, the displayed distance remained approximately equal to the original route length. It fluctuated slightly but never decreased significantly as I progressed along the route.

Even when approaching the destination (second test, walk around the block), the field still showed 702 m, although the destination marker was clearly visible nearby on the map (see attached screenshot).

The issue occurred with both navigation methods, so it does not seem to be specific to Komoot.

Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?

    This is one of the few features that works for me so please don't jinx it, I have enough bugs to cope with!

    Looking at your display though, I notice your display shows your Off Course as 12m. One of the bugs I have is that this data doesn't show unless I am more than 20m off course. You replied to my post about this "Off Course" Data Field - Does It Work For You?

    What I have found with the H1 (and previous GPSMAP devices), is that once I am off course enough for the device to pop up the "Off Course" warning (20m seems the default for the H1), the Distance to Destination doesn't update, until you are back "On Course". This behaviour makes sense. I have also noticed that once I get that popup the "Off Course" data field displays data until I am less than 20m off course, I get the "On Course" popup, and the data disappears again from the "Off Course" data field.

    I am intrigued that you have a working Off Course data field but don't get the Distance to Destination updated. It's like your device has a much lower default for "Off Course" and so the field displays correctly but it thinks it is always "Off Course", so doesn't update the "Distance to Destination". I haven't found any way to change the default of 20m but I wonder if you have changed it to something much lower and that is why you are seeing the problem with updating "Distance to Destination" because your H1 constantly thinks it is "Off Course".
