Zoom lag

3799751
over 3 years ago

Hello all,
Just received my Garmin 1040 solar, after a great experience with 530 and 830.
Updated it to 12,16. Reset it to be sure all is ok.
Made my configurations and made my first ride.
I was surprised that when the 1040 tries to adjust the zoom, it lags for about 2seconds (video here).  
I even disabled maps I don't used but it didn't make any difference.
Is this normal amongst others? Not really keen on this behaviour.
I already perceived the UI is slower compared to 830, and the touch acts on some menus (I struggled to remove sensors for example, while in other menus I sucessfuly removed options) but this is a bit unnaceptable for a navigation devivce at 750eur.

Let me know if yours is the same or mine is deffective.

    I have the same problem. I try with autozoom, no autozoom. And map page flash a instant a lot of times...

    I assume you are talking about Auto-Zoom. Are you expecting it to move in real-time, i.e. to flow up the map like a film?

    I think with Auto-Zoom, the map is showing 500M. As you travel forwards it does not move like a film, it adjusts based on position and, basically, jumps. I originally had Auto-Zoom by mistake and this is how it worked. (I cannot see from your video exactly what is happening, to shaky.)

    It’s possibly due to how & when Garmin records your position, which is not constant. I do not, however, know how it  works technically, but I do not think the map on Zoom mode will constantly move if that is what you are expecting.

    Nothing of that. The problem that the colleague comments is that every so often the map flashes and shows a shot with a very far zoom level and then returns to its position. In other Garmins it does not happen. I think it's a bug when it's going to give a turn signal, etc... it doesn't keep the zoom it has and it has that unwanted effect.

    same here. Sometimes the zoom level goes all the way up, and then goes back to normal. Must be a bug, as this never happened on my 1030 plus.
