It was committed.  However, this (the patch not working on Streetpilot)
might apply to you:

If the batteries are removeable, you might want to try that.

Coincidentally, I tested bicycle routing today.  It still fails
(out of memory) for destinations some 300 km away, but worked to 120 km.
I didn't try disabling the option "avoid highways", maybe I should have.
Car routing seems fine for all of Finland.

In the Edge 705, there is a routing option that will ask for confirmation
before recalculating the route, which would be practical when riding a
bicycle in built-up areas that can distort the GPS signal enough to fire
the recalculation trigger.  In Finnish, the option is called "fast" or
"quick", looks like a translation bug.  (Also, for car routing, it is
possible to select "shortest route"/"shortest time"/"fast".  The "fast"
option will ask each time which one to favour, shortest route or time.)
