Wondered if anyone else with this or similar satnav agrees with me
1-it always seems to Come on when not needed and is so difficult, sometimes to get it to come on when I need it ....wish it had a simple on off switch
2-when a destination is chosen by voice command it only says " do you want to proceed to this destination , needs a sound bite added of the actual destination e.g Fred's house
3-have a proper multi stop planner, as on navman models

Thanks

Err ... No

1. It does, so not sure what you're on about?
2. Suggest at http://www8.garmin.com/contactUs/ideas/ although since you've chosen the destination where else would it be taking you to?
3. It does, it's called Trip Planner and can be found in the Apps menu. What part are you struggling with? Very Happy

1- it doesn't have a simple on off switch as my old na man did, it's a push button that has to be held in for so many seconds to activate the off message
2- I did suggest this......take for example my voice command " keith" also have 'steve' as a destination.....so when I ask to go to Keith , it sometimes misheard me and sets a route to steve.......all I am asking is that instead of just saying would you like to go the destination, I says would you like to go to destination " steve" or Keith" etc etc......so I don't have to squint at the screen, while driving, with my driving glasses on to make out where it's taking me...
It's called a voice command so a better reply would be so very helpful...

3- read on many forums the trip,planner only goes to the waypoint selected after go.....but I think it actually does go to all waypoints then the final destination, will test later......
Thanks

3. It does the whole trip. Earlier trip planners prior to 2013 didn't so you may have been reading old comments.

1. Ah OK. But no need to use the switch if you don't like it as it'll power down when power is removed.

2. Doesn't cause me an issue but if enough folks complain Garmin may change it.

My 2599 turns off with a quick press of the button. It does need to be pressed and held to turn on though - but - I only need to do that indoors after an update.

In the car it auto powers on, instantly, and off with the 15 second countdown, with vehicle power.

If this satnav was used with a modern car, where the engine turns off automatically at traffic lights etc, then the satnav would keep coming on every time the engine is restarted, which is why a physical ' slide' off switch would be handy, guess other satnav have this issue also

Ah, I see the problem now. Connecting the ciggy Power connector to a permanent 12V would fix that problem.

Yes, some of the new cars now have two 12V sockets, but would need a mod to make it permananet.....

Perhaps if the satnav had a 4minute delay, that might work..

Thanks

That would do the trick. Or hard wire a ciggy adaptor to the perm 12V behind the dash. That also gets rid of a goodly bit of trailing cable.

Not true! The ignition, and hence the power to the SatNav stays on it's just the engine which cuts. That's the way it is on my Volvo.

That's the way it works on Hondas as well, but it might not be like that on the OP's car. I must admit that I was surprised by his symptoms as well. Surely he doesn't have to manually start the engine every time? That would cause the symptoms.

Surely stop/start doesn't cut power to the power sockets. That would be stupid.

Glad mine hasn't got SS.

Having said that though. I think the load on the starter could temporarily cut power.

I know my built in unit reboots when I start the car. That's after stopping say in a layby, not turning the ignition fully off, so the radio is still playing, then starting the car.

If that's the same with SS then that would drive me more crazy than now.

I still think SS must cause premature wear on the starter and flywheel. Time will tell.

When you ho to start, it cuts the pwr to ancillaries. Does not your radio go off whilst starting too?
