i3 freezes for a few seconds ?

[supercliff]

Hello again,
I recently purchased an i3 and am evry happy with it. But.....

When I took the unit out of the box, plugged it in, navigated somewhere, everything was fine, the unit ran fairly smoothly.
Now, I have updated the unit with 2.9 and everything else the updater would let me update. I have also added all the usual POI's (Tesco's, B&Q, Burger king etc etc) as well as speed camera database from here.

Now, the unit appears to freeze for a few seconds while navigating. I can approach a T-Junction outside my house, the unit will show me at 90 degrees to the road ahead. I turn out on to the road and travel down say 30 m and the unit still shows me back at the T-Junction. It then jumps to my location and goes back to normal.

There are no 'POi's' in my immediate area.

This does however get much worse when I am say approaching a speed camera.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Is it a matter of rolling back to 2.7 from 2.9?

Or is it POI related?

Thank you for your help. Other than this little glitch, I am evry happy with i3. It's my first GPS and I intend to keep it for a long time!



Cliff.

Please see the main thread on the 2.90 software, a brief precis is, some i3 units seem to affected more than others with the same symptoms that you are experiencing, mine for example does not exhibit the white-screen-of-death's that many people have reported, I believe Garmin's advice is to roll back to 2.70 if you suffering with problems on 2.90

located somewhere in the main thread http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=38296 wil be a link to getting 2.70 software, note that when rolling back that you will have to re-enter your POI's

Hello,
Thanks for your help. I've not had the 'White screen', but this does definetely seem to be my problem.

I looked through the forum (it took a while0 and the links to the version 2.7 didn't work, but I managed to find it.

for anyone else, it's here:

I have rolled back to 2.7 and will give it a go.

If successfull, I will wait until the next version is released to see if it fixes the bug.


Thanks again for your help.

Cliff

Rolling back to 2.7 has sorted the problem out.

The link that I previously posted no longer works though.

Sorry folks.

Mail me : Hypercliff@hotmail.com and I'll send anyone else 2.7
