It sort of seems, in your case, that it's recalculating all the time (it shouldn't be).
What happens if you set recalculate to prompt?
Funny answer from the Garmin tech., who told me that Recalculation is only for when having the device create what Garmin calls a "Route" internally on the device - say to a Starbucks you found on the map. It has nothing to do (according to them) with Courses (Connect) or Routes (RWGPS) as used for navigating.
Hmmm.....I actually don't think that's correct but I didn't care as I won't likely use the feature and as the device(s) now does TBT just peachy, don't care.
Also discovered that if you have a SIM card in a 1030, the boot time is near 2 minutes. I have Garmin Topo's on a card. Remove the SIM card and the device is back to a 13 sec. boot. The 1000 takes a whole lot less boot time with the card in it, then the 1030.
