Garmin Edge 530 Navigation Issue

[cjpaul007]

Hi All.

 

I have a Garmin Edge 530 which I'm struggling with.  On new GPX routes that I've downloaded to the unit, an error keeps popping up which I simply cant figure out.  Either it shows that 'there are no routable roads' or simply there is a general navigation error.  I've updated my unit through Garmin Express, fiddled with settings on the devise per other online platforms but the problem persists!  This first happened last year at the Munga Pretoria Swords series, again this year and for race to the sun.  This year I'm doing the NW Grit and don't want struggle (or get lost).

Does anyone have suggestions??

 

TIA!

Delete some of your unused maps and workouts I think it is a memory issue, I had the same problem with longer routes.

Are the correct maps ticked?

I've deleted all saved location, courses and history.  The maps on the unit is the base map, updated North Africa map (all came with the unit when i bought it new) and most recent trailfork maps.  I've also selectively enabled and disabled maps to see if there was a particular map that was giving issues, but still no joy.  Im considering a factory reset to see if anything will change.

Maybe try changing it to breadcrumb navigation instead. I've found that works when doing random MTB routes through all 3 Cape provinces that don't necessarily follow roads or Trailforks trails.

I am not sure if the basemap is routable? 

You would probably require a routable Southern Africa map (I presume you are using it in SA)

(From what I remember this was pre installed on my 830 - did you buy the unit in SA?)

The map must be what they call topo-active I think.

Factory reset would be the my course of action and if that doesn't work, uninstall and reinistall all maps.

Looks like this worked (after doing it three times). Will confirm after my ride this weekend.  Thanks for help!
