Nuvi 2x5 and later Nuvi 2x0 models add to the turn distance while driving

 

My Garmin nuvi 2x5 units and my nuvi 2x0 units that run the software that the 2x5s do (I think the SN's start with 1G....) will randomly add to the turn distance while driving. All that I've had done it are using Software Version 7.80 and have various different CN NA NT maps. For example, say I'm driving down the road, and it says I have 1.4 miles until my next turn. A little bit into that 1.4 miles, it just adds 1.4 miles to the turn distance, so it thinks I have 2.8 miles till my next turn. This means it won't say anything when I'm supposed to turn. I've contacted Garmin about this before and they said to try a master reset but that didn't fix anything. You guys have any ideas as to what's going on here and maybe how to fix it?

Probably a bug introduced by Garmin

I have a Nuvi 205 and it does the same thing. It sometimes adds distance to where you are supposed to turn. It is running the 7.8 version of the
software and latest maps.

This was talked about almost a year ago:

I suspect a software bug was in the software but due to the age of these
devices I do not think Garmin is going to fix it.

backlevel?

I wonder if backleveling the software to a version before 7.8 would resolve the problem. You should be able to get the older software versions on the Perry archive.
