Nav VI question

[Grumpy Goat]

What Navigator model are you using?

In my experience, the map display (i.e. alternate view when no destination is defined) is not as precise (as when you are navigating to an input destination), and is intended to show an overview of major roads, etc. For this reason it starts out really zoomed out, and when zoomed in, you could be zoomed in too much resulting in the bike being off the displayed map. I don't believe that in this display mode the icon is [more or less] fixed at a general location on the screen. ...

Its the NAV VI, Like Lee mentioned the Nav V keeps the bike icon always in view so I expect the nav vi to do the same. I guess another ride will have to be completed to do more tests

Thanks for confirming the model; I too have the Nav VI.

In my reply above I was not referring to the default map / navigation mode - in that mode the bike icon is always in the display, no matter the zoom level.

The map mode I am referring to is the alternate overview mode which you see when you tap on the title bar on the top of the normal display screen. I believe that in that mode, it is possible with the zoom level set, to have the icon off the map.

Having said that, I have now actually got my Nav VI out and have to now clarify that the alternate overview mode is not available when you are riding without a destination defined, so my initial offering does not apply to this discussion since you said that you are riding without an input destination.

On my device, in the non-navigatin mode you are speaking about, I always see the bike icon no matter what the zoom level, so I have no solution for you after all. Sorry.
