[mkgmap-dev] Routing Bug on StreetPilot c510

Sat Apr 18 10:01:02 BST 2009

It sometimes happens to my GPSmap 60CSx as well. One method of canceling 
the route calculatin is to turn off the GPS, turn it back on and press 
the Enter key repeatedly while the GPS is booting. The cancel button on 
the route calculation popup is only responsive during the very first 
seconds and aparently this popup is already active while the map is 
being loaded.

This is a more graceful method of stopping the route calculation instead 
of having to reset the GPS.
