RNS 510/Columbus Map Scale On Startup

[BottomScratcher]

This is very much a First World problem that I find mildly annoying. Every time I start the engine and the satnav boots up the map scale is different to when I last switched the engine off, e.g. I park up with the scale on 75m, start the car an hour later and the scale displayed is 150m. Drive to the shops, park up, come back and start up and the scale is out to 300m. Next startup it's 150m again. All over the place. I recently had a satnav antenna problem, and had the dodgy antenna replaced under warranty. I used a puck antenna under the dash until I had the antenna repalced, and wanted to see if the scale would keep changing after I had the new rooftop antenna fitted. It does. I think the issue might have more to do with a FW update to 4120. I'm pretty sure the timing of the update, and when the map scale started changing is about the same.

It just means I have to manually adjust the scale practically every time I start the car - like I said, a First World problem. This only happens at system startup, and the map scale doesn't change while driving. It isn't the variable map scale option (Autozoom) indicated by the "+" inside a small magnifying glass. I've got that off. The manual doesn't say that it should stay the same until altered, but it has for the last 2 years. Anyone got any clues as to why it has started doing this and/or what I can do to sort it I'd be glad to hear them. Thanks.

Have been meaning to ask the exact same thing for a while. Quite annoying really having to change the zoom every time you go into maps.

Another thing I find weird is when in navigation typing in an address I have to choose which country I am in !!! Their are only 2 choices, but doesn't it know I am in Australia??

Thanks

i'm running on firmware 4120 with v6 maps - it always remembers where i left it (after ignition off), be it on 75m, 150m, 400m or Auto.

im running the same as darkshadow, but I have the same issue from the OP.

weird, but I just turn the right-knob to get it back to where I like it

Thanks for the input. Odd that it remembers the last scale in some cars, but not others with all running the same FW and map versions.

there's nothing of any significance that I've found in the Map, Nav, or Setup menus. Possibly a VCDS setting?

TBH I expect it to happen now so im prepared for zooming.

come to think of it, it only seems to happen when I enter a destination.

if I turn on the map without entering a destination, as in I just want to see whats around me, it appears to remember my last selection.

Mine remembers also,I rarely enter destination.

Enter a destination and save it and it will retain the country

Mine retains the scale except when on zoom and then it defaults to zoom out

Do a soft reset by pushing the top two l/h and far r/h buttons all at the same time Fixes lots of glitches

My first RNS was v5 maps and 39xx and never changed scale. It had a issue with the 26 pin plug so Was returned. my next unit was v5 4120 and it changes scale all the time from 200m to 5km I then got v6 maps and still the same. It has to be a firmware thing. My scale never goes down always up from what I left it at. I have noticed it only changes when it's been a while. If the unit goes through its start up it will change.
