Felt Bicycle Oddities

 

Besides being enthused about Le Tour de France and Team Garmin, I'm excited about the new Felt Bicycle vehicle that I used on a cycling trail this morning.

But I've noticed some curious things about this new vehicle:

  • it only displays properly in 3D View
  • it changes to a blue triangle if you touch the map
  • it switches to a blue triangle after zooming out 12 levels

Normally, I set Track Up view with topo maps out on the trails. Sadly, the Felt Bicycle displays as a blue triangle in Track Up (or North Up) views.

I'm disappointed that this vehicle fails me while cycling sad

All the other vehicles I've downloaded and used work fine in all three of the map views.

Any vehicle authors out there have any ideas?

Performance enhanced icon perhaps?

I think the icon is guilty of doping, like all things related to Le Tour de Farce.

Wait, did I just think that or did I type it? wink

How Do You Like Your Edge?

What was on your short list? Which model did you buy?

I'm thinking of getting one next spring.

Go team Garmin. I hope they

Go team Garmin. I hope they do well in the mountains. I am looking for a Felt F3 road bike and thinking about the Garmin 705.

The Felt bicycle is STILL

The Felt bicycle is STILL Screwed up to this day... more than a year later?? In fact it crashes my 885 when I try to choose it from the menu. Won't work on my Nuvi 760 nor my 885. Crazy.

Has anybody heard anything new about this? Reported it to Garmin?

I just sent a message to TechSupp. BTW, it doesn't show on either of my Nuvis in ANY view.

What do you mean by "won't work on my nuvi 760"? How are you installing the file?

I don't have the original file from 2008, but the one I just downloaded from the Garmin site works in 3D mode with my nuvi 760:
