Disappearing bodies of water

roryjr · 05-20-2007, 07:13 PM

Our nav screen used to show bodies of water off the side of the road and that we were crossing. It still does when we go to Virginia, but no in North Carolina where we live. We changed the search area but that did not and should not make a difference. Anyone have any ideas?

Ha! gbee42 mabe me smile.

I'm perplexed. There is a setting for the GPS that can be set to show different points of interest (POI) icons as well as "outlines of buildings". Both are global settings and wouldn't show details in state/zone vs. another and are not related to showing blue water.

Maybe it has to do with the zoom? I.e if you're not zoomed in enough it won't show small "puddles"? It's either that or you must have played with the GPS set-up and that somehow changed it.

The zoom is at the default 300 ft setting. Like I said, it works fine in VA but not in NC.

It seems that they are back. Don't know what happened. They are just back.
