Eudro2 Automatic Reboot

Hi all, I found my Enduro 2 automatically rebooted when it was computing the route to a location I chose for navigation. It happened when the progress was around 60%. The software is 17.20, the latest one. Also, the watch rebooted twice during a 12-hour hiking last month, the software version was 16.20 then. I'm wondering if this is the problem of my watch or this is a common issue for Garmin devices to crash. As for my watch, I have a contour map from opentopomap installed apart from built-in maps, several Connect IQ apps and a customized watch face based on default faces. Any suggestion is appreciated, thanks.

I've found computing routes on the watch not worth the effort - as the longer course you try to do, the longer it takes.

If you want to compute a route to a place on the fly - use Garmin Explore on your phone, as it can upload the route on the fly and doesnt tie up the watch

I disagree with you. We pay for premium sportwatch with premium features. Simple as that.

And you've got them. Its just with the longer routes, your watch does struggle as its got limited processing power. Its ok up to about 10K but then as you get more and more possible routes its going to slow down.

If you want longer routes on the fly, explore does it far better.

In rural areas, it does ok up to about 12K .... however if you're in a city looking for routes in streets with thousands of choices for routes, its going to struggle.

Use the best tool for the job. Explore uses your phone, which has a lot more processing power - works gar better

And what makes Explore even better is it can do it on the fly

So for example I was doing a 32K route, about 16K in i realised that the route I had plotted along a river was a badly maintained footpath. Loads of brambles etc, so I cancelled the route, fired up Explore and got it to get me a route back to the start via some other points.

It did the route, and when I sent it to the watch I didnt even have to stop the activity, it fired up navigation on the new route straight away

So my suggestion was also meant to avoid any reboot issues... If there's dodgy routing info on the map in a certain place it can either crash the watch, or cause it to take ages to create the route. ANd its not always immediately obvious where on the map the routing info is a bit iffy until you find it.

May be worth trying a third party free OSM map for the area, and see if thats better. In which case, you can perhaps identify it as a map issue.

Consider it a workaround until the original issue is identified and fixed.
