Hi,

First time post here. Hello!



I recently bought the 62S and it's exactly what I want in a handheld unit. I can't fault it.



I am however, having a small issue. When I load in a route (gpx file) via the Basecamp software everything's ok. I then look at the route on my unit and it's again, ok. After a few seconds though the unit changes the route.



For example, I load in a route that starts at a point, goes along a path and up a hill. It then comes down the hill and rejoins the path to take me back to the start. In other words, a big loop. The route consists of 46 waypoints along it's course that join to make the loop.



The 62s has been changing these routes so that I stay on the initial path and go out to each waypoint from the path and the return to the original path before going back up the hill to the next waypoint?!



I managed to fix this by restoring the unit to its original settings (factory default) but what I want to know is why the unit is doing this? And more importantly, what setting have I changed to make the unit do this?



Thanks in adavnce
