Changes made from version 7.60 to 7.70:
◦Improved UI responsiveness in some situations.
◦Fixed issues that could prevent users from accessing downloadable content when using Garmin Express.
◦Fixed an issue that could allow the PIN entry to be bypassed when Garmin Lock is turned on.
◦Improved software stability.

Playing arround with the new software v7.70 I noticed, that the demo mode ("route simulation") does not work properly - the vehicle goes back and forth on the 'Autobahn' after some km, distance decreases and increases constantly and the route isn't followed any further for hours.

Due to this I reverted to v7.60

SOLVED
Furthermore it looks as if Garmin has released the same software v7.70 for both the 2x5 and 2x5W.


Maybe this is the reason for that strange behaviour: Garmin didn't want to spent to much time for an outdated device and therefor didn't build two accurate releases?

Only Perry's software for the 2x5W did show a different checksum (and size), but this might be related to the fact, that he offers the software for HwID 0827 whereas the others are for HwID 0851.

Beg to differ sorry. Both files downloaded directly from Garmin:

Make a hard reset and try again.
Which map are you using?

CN Europe NT 2016.10

Well, I'll try a hard reset later on, but I guess I'm okay with 7.60 too.
More important to me is to figure out, how I can make that old Lady speak to me in whole sentences (TTS) - "turn left to elm street".

Okay, made a hard reset before installing software v7.70 and even afterwards.
Then I started a simulation (~ 400 km) and after around one hour same behavior again: car jumped forth and back between 80 and 53 km to the next junction continuously.
So finally I decided to stick to v7.60.

At least Steffi & Yannik are now talking to me the way I wanted.

Whole route simulated without any problem on v7.60 again, so I'm quite sure, that there is something wrong with v7.70.
Haven't had any problems with the simulation before I updated to v7.70.
