Turn by turn popup uses map with low detail

Hi all,

My edge 530 (often, not always i think) shows a low-detailed map when it pops up a turn by turn instruction. If I am in map view, the maps is detailed though. Screenshots should be clearer ;) Any ideas?

Hi,

This looks like a repeat of the super-zooming problem described here https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/cycling/f/edge-530/214362/is-my-edge-getting-confused-when-navigating-a-route-see-pics

Does anyone know if this super-zooming issue (if thats what it is) has been resolved now (apologies - not in a position to test it myself).

Yep, that's the pop up map view zooming in way too far to be useful.

Thanks Wongataa. I guess no resolution to this problem yet then?

this is not a problem, this is on purpose and fine!

Hey guys, looks very similar indeed. I will try the 'switch off auto-zoom'-workaround.

0 Wongataa over 5 years ago in reply to Daveymorrisuk

I am not running beta firmware so I don't know it is fixed in that yet.

Hey all,

I tried switching off auto-zoom yesterday, and still had a roundabout with the 'super-zoomed' view. So I'm afraid the workaround does not do the trick...

I'm keen to find out if this turn by turn pop-up zoom issue is fixed! I thought it had been fixed in Firmware 5.0 when I read "Fixed issues with the map zoom level not being set correctly.", but it sounds like not?

0 MartijnBosch2 over 5 years ago in reply to 5728316

No I'm using the 5.10 firmware.

Same problem still present in firmware 5.50 and it‘s not just limited to roundabouts. Today my Edge 530 was instructing me to switch from the road to bike path which is located about 1-2 meters to my right. Unfortunately due to the huge zoom level of the popup it looked as if I should take a 90 degree turn to the right, into a road that wasn’t there and just keep going that way. Only after checking the regular map with a reasonable zoom level I noticed that it was just a very, very slight turn from the road to the bike bath, which was technically a correct direction but very hard to understand while riding above 35 km/h.

It also explains all those other occasional confusing turn directions I received in the past. This needs to be fixed - Garmin should set a maximum zoom level for the popup which will never be exceeded.
