Has anyone else experienced this??
A route planned on MyRouteApp, uploaded onto a Nav 6 with the straight line correction done. Suddenly 'looses' route, then recalculates using part of planned route and adds fastest route to final waypoint to make almost twice the journey length. Happened on 3 nav 6s using same planned route but not on a 550 and 595. reset planned route multiple times but after a while the same thing would happen again. I've used this combination for a year on multiple trips without seeing this issue. It started whilst under storm clouds, I have had GPS glitches when there is thick cloud cover but never this. Done a net search but can't find similar problems. The fact the older Garmin models worked OK points to the Nav 6 being the culprit but can't see why that would be the case.
I don't rely on GPS and I'm well aware of their limitations but I often plan complex routes that would be impractical to just use a map. Just trying to understand why this happened so I can either work round it or use other means if it is related to weather conditions
Thanks
