Re: How can I supress Tripadvisor data being shown at destination arrival - it's a dangerous feature

I've now done some miles with the replacement unit and it does not exhibit the problematical Tripadvisor spam behavior so the issue I was experiencing must have been related to my specific unit. I'll post an update when I've done some more miles, but so far the new unit has been fine. A question I c...

Re: How can I supress Tripadvisor data being shown at destination arrival - it's a dangerous feature

Hi Guys, Garmin have decided that I must have a bad unit and have just shipped me a replacement. I'll see if this replacement unit works any better. Adding a false end point did not solve the issue and the Tripadvisor reccomendations could by 30km from where I actually was. Unit was rebooted on vari...

Re: How can I supress Tripadvisor data being shown at destination arrival - it's a dangerous feature

Bad news on this one guys and girls, the latest software update (4.30) appears to have killed off the workaround (if it really was a workaround). If I was of a cynical turn of mind, which I’m not, I’d suspect that Garmin engineering acted on my support request and deliberately closed the workaround ...

Re: How can I supress Tripadvisor data being shown at destination arrival - it's a dangerous feature

Here is Garmin Support's considered reply which certainly increases my confidence in Garmin and its products. Thank you for the clear, well-documented steps! I really appreciate that, I'll be sure to pass it on to the investigation I've already raised to help us try and and narrow down whatever the ...

Re: How can I supress Tripadvisor data being shown at destination arrival - it's a dangerous feature

Here's an update which gives Garmin Support's answer and a possible workaround that builds on some tests I ran partly triggered the by the very useful ideas from JFHEATH and IKRUAS (many thanks guys). First, the Garmin Support answer: "I've had a further look into this and unfortunately it look...

Re: How can I supress Tripadvisor data being shown at destination arrival - it's a dangerous feature

Thanks to you both for your suggestions JFHEATH and IKRUAS. I've done a bit more experimenting this morning and you may both be onto something by focussing on the data source. BTW neither a cellphone nor the Tread App are enabled - I've attempted to strip out all extraneous elements from the equatio...

Re: How can I supress Tripadvisor data being shown at destination arrival - it's a dangerous feature

I did, and the Tripadvisor window pops at the usual point, about 0.5 Km short of the destination when approached from the south. This behaviour might be a possible anomally of the specific destination as the behaviour does not occure at other destinations I frequently use regardless of the direction...

Re: How can I supress Tripadvisor data being shown at destination arrival - it's a dangerous feature

I've now run a few trips as controlled experiments and what I've so far found is: 1. With Up Ahead places ON but Tripadvosor OFF Tripadvisor still pops at destination. 2. With Up Ahead places OFF I lose useful information (i.e. Speed Cameras and Parking and Motorway Services which I had set to on) b...
