Using LK 6.1j on Kobo Aura 2 with LX Nano as GPS signal.

Using 'Next Distance' for on screen overlay (from Aux info boxes). When the current task ("T>") waypoint is selected, distance provided is accurate. When using Multi-Target menu and selecting any other target besides Task ("T>"), the distance does not change.

I think this is a bug. I believe the distance should re-calculate for the selected target, yes? Or, am I using the wrong parameter?

No matter which waypoint I select from the waypoint list (Nav->Waypoint Lookup->Go To) or have as the next waypoint of a task (these will show as the "T>" waypoint target), the distance for "Next Distance" being displayed as an overlay (from InfoBox Auxiliary parameter 4...which is what I am using for my Left Top overlay value) is accurate.

However, when I set Alternates to some other waypoint than either the selected "go to" or current task waypoint, and select an Alternate using Multi Target selection (either "1>" or "2>" targets), distance does not recalculate to the selected Alternate...stays as calculated for the current "T>" target. Same behavior for either "Fly" or "Sim" mode.

I hope that is making sense?

'Next Distance' from Aux info boxes are always related to next turmpoint in task.

Distance to turnpoint related to select multitarget is top right overlay value ( displayed just bellow turpoint name if you are in portrait )
