On the '76' when using the 'route' option, when does the indication to the next waypoint come up on screen? Is it halfway between the waypoint you've passed and the next one or as soon as you've passed over or abeam the first waypoint? Thanks.

Hi,

I don't know what algorithm Garmin use, but it's definitely nothing like as far as half way to the next waypoint. It seems to work quite "intelligently", going on to the next waypoint when it thinks you've been "near enough" to the current waypoint. If anything, I've found it rather over-enthusiastic in moving on to the next waypoint (when walking or driving on land) before I've got to the previous one.

Cheers, Alan.
