18.20 Lock on Roads navigation bug still present

Garmin-Sierra

Just reporting that this bug seems to be present also on the just released non-beta 18.22.

This is a strange one, I had it on two activities on the same day, but after that nothing, it works fine again without any settings changed

That's really strange! I checked the beta forums bug reports (now read-only since there is no beta). The status of this bug was changed to "ticket created" a week ago, so Garmin seems to have acknowledged there's something going on.

I'll check again later if the bug persists for me.

I see now that I answered on the wrong question :-)

For me the lock on road issue dissappeared with 18.21, but then I got the ghost zoom/pan issue instead, but only during one day. Now both are fine and I have no more issues.

For me there is still the bug in version 18.22

I've now tried both walking and hiking activities with all possible combinations of the general and per-activity "lock on road" setting. I've not been able to switch the lock-on-road off, no matter what.

This is especially annoying while hiking, since not all paths/tracks are on the map, and you are often moving off-track. And it makes finding the path more difficult, since the watch now shows that you are on the path, when you actually are 30 meters off, trying to find the bloody thing. And what's worse, you cannot even see where you are on the map, since the locked-onto-path arrow is lying about your position!

Yeah I know... I have no clue why it's now working fine for me now, I wish I did and could share...

Just in case, could you tell what activities you are using where it doesn't lock, and what those activities' map settings are (+ your global map settings)?

Only tested with Walk and Hike, and I only use the global setting, nothing changed in the activities. Track Up is set (instead of North Up). I had the map zoomed into 50m on the marker while testing. I use a Garmin Topo Pro map if that matters.
