Problems with Quest 2

[skellum]

I am having a couple of problems with my Quest 2

1) I am travelling to France in a couple of weeks and thought it would be a good idea to transfer the routes I had prepared in mapsource to the Quest so I could run the route simulation program - on all 4 routes transferred the unit runs through about a minute of the route and then asks if I wish to re start the route? If I restart then it starts the whole route again and brings up the same message.

2) I also transferred an old route I had in Mapsource to the Quest 2 however as soon as I tried to open this route it told me the maps did not match "do you want to recalculate the route" - I think originally they were made in Mapsource on V6 but have now updated through to V8 and still looked at the route in Mapsource before transferring.

I had updated the unit Software to the latest revision 12/7/06 and the latest webupdater (June)

Any advice would be appreciated - I am quite dissapointed that since changing to the Quest 2 a few months ago from my original Quest I seem to have nothing but problems - with slow redraw's, slow calculations etc - the new unit seems unwieldy (software wise) compared to the original.

I wish I had a 2820!!!!

Cheers

My thoughts exactly!

Having returned a replacement Quest 2 I'm now waiting to receive a 2610.

It's not enough to "look at the route" in MapSource. You must "recalculate" in MapSource with the proper map version active before uploading to the Quest2.

Also note that V8 for Quest1 is not the same map as V8 NT for the Quest 2.

Thanks I'll try that tonight - the V8 came with the Unit but I will still check to make sure.... any idea's re the other problems?
