Why do you want an accuracy circle?  

Because you need ni extra data fiel on map page.

 

still no 2 data field display on map page - why?

[Garmin GPSMAP 66 series announced on 2018-08-06]

It started with the62 series. 

The 60csx had a better firmware (with accuracy circle)

 

it looks like, they changed the programmer team with the 62 series.

62, 64, 66 - all the same &§?*Ä (without accuracy circle)

[Garmin 66 vs 62S]

You leave the Panasonic in the gpsmap 66 and can load it fully in about 40 minutes via USB?

 

mine take about 6-8 hours for loading in the 66

I also have big problems with calibrating the 66

calibrating a 60csx or 62 was very easy.

 

i already thought it might be a hardware issue ot the 66er series.

 

turning the unit quickly and not slow had more success.

 

or the will be an sw update in a few months or years

 

 

also with calibration , nord was not exactly north
