Does this unit say "recalculating" when you miss a turn? I hate that. I've seen answers here for this unit that say both it does and it doesn't.

Our Garmin doesn't, but I have to tell you that we love it and wouldn't be without it. I love the double screen when you get to the highway signs and it is hard to figure out which one to follow -- no more since we bought this Garmin. Love it. Judy

Haven't tried to update since I just got my GPS. HOWEVER - it gives the wrong directions....When the map clearly shows to turn one direction, the voice prompt says to turn the opposite. Finally, I just turn it off and follow the road signs!!!! Not happy with my TomTom!!!

Hi. It works with both types of turns. The watch counts the extended pause in your stroke when you do either one of the turns. It's nice not having to worry about counting laps any more.

I just got it and I've only used it twice, but yes it's accurate...although one of those times it did take me on a slightly longer route which used wider streets. I assumed that was by design because I told it I was driving a 40' motor home.

Hi Linda, I'm not entirely sure. I've played around with the Preferences (Rewind: 1500 Step (ms) / 100 Speed (%) / 500 to (%)). Then I just "tap" the rewind pedal versus stepping on it for a period of seconds. That seems to rewind it a little bit - enough for me to catch the last few words. I hope this has helped.

2nd answer. Hi Carolyn. Maybe I misunderstood your question. Pressing SHIFT MODE gives you several options. Pressing one of the numbers corresponds to your particular choice.Pressing SHIFT then MODE and the down arrow on the big round navigation (Replay) key provides you with even more options. To RESET your calculator back to NORMAL, press SHIFT, 9 (CLR) the option 3 (ALL), then = (Yes) followed by the AC key.Regards, David.

If you take it off...mine doesn't count much if any while travelling in a car and I'm disappointed sometimes it doesn't count enough for riding my bike. ;-) I am unhappy mostly with customer service and it doesn't keep the time on the same screen as my last Omron pedometer did. I'm also unhappy it doesn't upload steps to facebook as its advertisements lead you to believe. You can upload to your private page and get a graph, but I could do that with my old one. You can post "badges" (I don't need badges, thank you, I want to share my stinking steps and miles!!!)I had my last pedometer for 5 years and zero complaints so the fact that I am unhappy with this one is an indicator. Try the triangle one, I think it is the J-321. Purple and grey. Old style but the battery lasts longer (6 mos versus 2.5 to 3 mos), you can still upload but with a cable...to me, the USB is not enough of a draw over cable since the pedometer itself...in a word...sucks in comparison. This was NOT an upgraded model. It was a sucker draw, and I was the sucker. I can't get any resolution out of customer service...they want to appear to upgrade, not truly upgrade. They did do a "customer service" call to verify that my complaints were accurate. (I complained about the time stamp and she called to say that "yes, the model you have does not tell the time on the same face.) I repeated what the gal said and asked her if that sounded like she answered a question and she giddily said, "yes, thank you. I'm glad we could satisfy you." and hung up...no longer an Omron fan to say the least. Happy Hiking though! Again, I DO like the old style if you can get it.

I'm not sure of a new version. I think this is the last model that says recalculating. The models made after this one let you drive aimlessly for a few minutes before you are told you are driving in the wrong direction. If you're in traffic, it will take you forever to get back on your correct route. This is the main reason I bought this model.

I sent mine back as I could not reset it. Also because it would not accurately count my steps. Sorry.

Amen to the bell sound turn indicator.It is dead on one of the handiest features on any gps unit.All others should provide this feature.When the unit dings,you are exactly at your turn.

Unknown. Mine is also...reviews prior to my purchase several years ago lamented this as well as it not displaying in mph.Engineering guess is an error in the algorithm...do not know what this says about any location accuracy, but then I didn't get it for that.

Mike, I agree what Garmin said made no sense, but it is working today. So who knows what really happened. Where did you get those other updates for the traffic receiver?
741529
Yes it does. "It also provides a "Curve Warning" response whenever you are .2 of mile from a serious curve. I find this vary useful when driving new roads. Every time the speed limit changes if you are more than 5 mph over the new limit you will get a audio "Speed Warning" as well as anytime you drift to 5 mph above the posted limit.

As a genral GPS unit. It does give you a way back by reversing the route. I've never used it that way.

You know what? That's the one thing I don't understand about the unit. I'll be driving along and all of a sudden the screen will change from normal to traffic, and it's mostly in gray and blue. I have been meaning to call Garmin about this, but just haven't gotten to do it. It's really weird. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Yes I have missed the turn. The GPS 2797LMT will put you back on track. Fast and to the point.

No, does not give you distance travelled. That's your odometer that does that. It does let you know ETA and miles to next turn. It quietly recalculates when you don't go the way it first chooses. Have traveled N 2 S Canada to Florida using and its been so much more helpful then our Garmin. Very happy with it.
