Choosing location on map to navigate crashes the watch - fw12.23

Zivenator

Selecting a location by holding the start button does trigger to choose an option (street name, land or something else) but selecting one of the options just crashes the watch, in all sports profiles with a map. Does it work for someone?

    Yes, it works if crosshairs covers only one road (i.e. have to zoom in more)so a road list wouldn't be brought up which would crash the watch. Another issue is the route is a straight line instead of following road (in Map mode only).

    Edit: If I choose the destination in the map of run mode, it will show the route alone the road instead of straight line.

    Weird, I don't even get that option.. simply doesn't do anything for me

    Do you see the crosshair? If not, reboot your watch. After that you can crash the watch by selecting a location.

    Thanks, but yeah... It now works. (Somehow didn't notice you simply have to tap the screen to show... Only tried long press).

     But I think I might have found a workaround... (posted it a bit earlier too)

    Instead of selecting a point on a street for example (you then see a small white block snapping to the street), point the crosshairs just beside the street (might need to zoom in a bit, if the crosshairs partially overlap the street it will select it I think) and then long press start...

    You should then get the option to "Go" or save the location, choosing Go will start navigation... This actually kinda seems to work for me. (Though in dense cities this is still tricky because it will often show something general like "Parking Lot" and "City" as options which then will cause a crash selecting one of those.

    But yeah, might need some fiddling around finding a proper place for the crosshairs to not result in a selectable list

    Workaround seem to work.

    Unfortunately it won't calculate a route for me.

    It keep saying "calculating" (or what the English translation would be).

    Do you have a GPS fix? It won't calculate until location by GPS is available.

    You are right. I made the assumption that it would use the last known location. 

    With GPS it calculate pretty fast. 

    (somehow this firmware keeps triggering backlight in workout though)
