Navigator V - Temperature
Navigator V - Temperature
Recently purchased the Nav V as an upgrade from my existing 660.
On a recent "plotted" trip I hade the screen info set showing "temperature". I did notice that the reading was somewhat adrift from the bike temp reading.
Yesterday, decided to have a quick jasp around the local area. Fitted the V and just left it showing the map. No pre-planned route.
The temp display did not register at all throughout the journey.
I've had a quick look and can't find anything that would turn the temp off.
Any suggestions?
I don't really want the temp showing as i can use the RT's temp if required. But using the " if it's there it should work theory" what's the problem?
Thanks

No temperature on my Nav V. All you 17 model types, is it part of My motorcycle info. Maybe Garmin hsve added it but not told anybody

It's on one of the dashboard options. Tried a full blown reset, just waiting to find satellites now.
Not many of those indoors, lol

Nope, nothing on mine. Must be a new thing. If it just appears in one of the windows at the bottom of the screen you can programme them by just touching either and the menu appears.

Good job the USA GPS system isn't plagued with the same issues as Europe has trying to get their GPS system up and running or you'd never get back online BeeJay wrote: just waiting to find satellites now.

Re: Navigator V - Temperature
I don't think the temperature readout on the Garmin GPS comes from the bike, I think it comes via the SmartLink feed from your phone which in turn I guess is getting it from a weather feed somewhere.

Re: Navigator V - Temperature
That's a very good suggest. I'll give it a try.
The GPS answer came from Garmin on-line chat after advising a reset.

Re: Navigator V - Temperature
Tried it outside, found satellites and I turned the smartlink on.
Temp displayed.
Tried it inside, near a windown, temp didn't show until "ready to navigate" came up.
So it looks to be a bit of both. The smartlink finds the weather info but it doesn't display until the Nav has found the satellites.

Re: Navigator V - Temperature
I think that's because until the GPS finds the satellite it doesn't know where it is and so can't give SmartLink a location against which to provide the temperature.BeeJay wrote: So it looks to be a bit of both.

Re: Navigator V - Temperature
Sorted, the last comment was a red herring.
Tried it gain indoors, temp came up straight away whilst it was still searching for satellites.
The last time I was out the app could not have been active.
The difference in temperatures is beause the bike give the exact location whereas the phone app finds the nearest point of info.
At home the app gives as a source approx15 miles further into Wales than where I am.
At least got it sorted now.

What's a full blown reset?

Re: Navigator V - Temperature
That's a handy Garmin instruction pdf, I'll create a thread for it, hopefully it won't get lost for future reference, thanks Barry.
