route calculation error. Not enough memory available

If I try to navigate to a location, my 5x gives an error " route calculation error. Not enough memory available".
I deleted all my activities, but still the same error.
There is no extra's installed on the watch.
attached a screenshot of the Garmin info (Mac)
Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?

  • How far is the destination? I had it draw 130 KM routes but further the destination, more the memory it'll use. I think it doesn't mean the storage but the RAM on the device or RAM amount set for the routing application i? not enough for the job.

    It was only about 5 km. it had worked before on much greater distances.

    Did this start occurring after the latest big map update by any chance?

    It was after the latest map update..
    However, I decided to reset the unit to factory settings, and after a hike this morning, it seems to work fine again.
    (Just like Windows, once a year reformat and install again)

    Thanks for the interest and reply's. I hope this has solved it.
  • I have exactly the same problem as mentioned by the op... 

    Fenix 5x plus 8.40...latest maps. 

    Error code not enough memory.. when trying to navigate to... for instance a poi.....or plot on the map.....even a short distance is not possible.... on the pre installed maps.... or any other map I've installed. The answer is to power cycle my watch when it happens....about every 5 to 9 activities. 

    Also Motorcycle and Automobile routing has been discontinued on my device....  but works with third party routable maps. 

    I'll report it by phone to customer support.
