Another possible bug/glitch? Or...how to delete a route?

[toneman]

I initiated a "Route To" to a waypoint--in this case, from my then-current position in Concord, CA to a stored waypoint in Rocklin, CA--the map correctly displayed my location once I reached the end destination in Rocklin. Here's where the "glitch" comes in: I turned off my iQue (and the GPS) upon arrival, then turned the iQue (but not the GPS) back on the next day. I clicked on "Map" just for grins and guess what? The map still thinks that I'm at the start of my route (Concord)--black triangle and all...and in case you were wondering--map display indicated "GPS is off" message; I also tapped the location triangle at the bottom of the screen in the hope that the map would (re?)display my last-known/correct location--in this case, Rocklin...no such luck.

Here's where it gets weirder--through some random clicking of different apps and such (without manually setting anything that would indicate my arrival or current location), I can somehow get the map to show my arrival destination (Rocklin). Wanna hear more? When I click on "Resume Navigation", the iQue once again thinks I'm in Concord...even the QueTurns app confirms as much. After some more app clicking here and there (after stopping navigation first), the map once again shows me at my arrival destination--all this time, I have neither turned on the GPS (either via internal or external antenna) nor have I moved from my seat as I type this message.

So--does the fact that the iQue apparently keeps the "current" (I think "last-known" would be a more appropriate term in this case) route in memory have something to do with this? How do I clear the most recent/last-created route without having to save it first--or is it not possible to do so without saving? Note--I am not talking about clearing the track log; I did that too, to no avail.

Thanks!

I have found that if you tell it to recalculate at any point along a route it will do so beginning at the current GPS position to the destination.

As for being stuck in one location, if you select GPS, then pick the menu, then "New Location", you can pick a different location on the map as the start. Tap "Done" to move the black triangle to the new position. Then pick whatever destination you want and calculate the route. This will replace the current route with the new one.

bearcreek--my issue is that my iQue thinks that I'm still at the beginning of my route, even though I had clearly arrived at my destination--with the map indicating my arrival location as such. The iQue map view will randomly display either starting or ending route point even though I haven't moved from my spot (see first post) and with GPS off. Also, why does it attempt to restart the route from the starting point (not the "current" position) when I click on "Resume Navigation" (which I did so just to see what would happen) even though it had acknowledged the night before (both audibly and on-screen) that I had arrived at my destination?

Bearcreek--I just tried your method of changing location. Works great but if I turn off the power, it goes right back to my home base when I power up! How do you keep it from doing that? Sure seems to be alot of trial and error learning---still love my Q any way. It certainly is a challenge.

I don't think it goes back unless you run the gps. It will always go to where the gps is running.

this was happening with the gps off.

Missing something here. You can set the beginning by doing what I described before. Then set the finish by finding it on the map, tapping the location, then opening the menu. Under "Que", tap "Route To", and the new route is computed. Nothing changes again (at least on my unit) until I change it. You can save the route or do a different one. The route stays in my machine, even after a reset.

I think that the above may be the crux of my "glitch", reset notwithstanding--even after acknowledging that I had arrived at my destination, the iQue sometimes wants to think that I had never left...:confused:

I'm sure that if I turn the GPS on, the iQue will eventually orientate itself and show its' correct (and current) location, regardless of whether or not a route is active or stored; until then, I think the iQue is referencing the last-used route (if one was created) as far as which location (starting or ending point) it chooses to display on the map when in map view mode, regardless of last-known location--this is the "glitch" I'm talking about. Shouldn't the iQue always display the last-known tracked location (in my case, the destination/ending point) on the map if the GPS (not necessarily the iQue itself) had been turned off (and remained off) upon arrival?

I mean, I have yet to see an explanation as to why the iQue sometimes thinks I'm still at the beginning of my route when it clearly knew I was at the end of it...

This may not help but I'll give it a shot. Under normal use the IQ will remember where you last were when your shut off the GPS or the entire unit. If however you activate a saved route it will assume you are at the begining of the saved route (with antenna down) and switch your starting point to that begiining point even after you stop the route. It will go back to where you really last were only if you turn off the IQ and turn it back on. If your IQ is changing locations on you for other reasons than you may have a defective unit.

Curious Cat--you're right; if I reactivate or resume navigation (even with GPS turned off), the iQue will place my "current" position at the beginning of the route, regardless of where I'm actually located. I do find however that once I stop navigation, turn the iQue off, then turn it back on--the map will once again display my last-known recorded location. No biggie in any case; just curious as to why the iQue behaves that way.:D

It does so because it makes the most sense. If it doesn't know where it is then it has to assume something as to where to start from. It figures you are still probably where you last were unless you activate a saved route then it assumes you are at the beginning of that route or why else would you be activating it. This logic is not infallible but has the best chance of being right or close to it.
