+Henne1312 Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Hi, I had a problem with my 66s (FW 9.90) last week, that pc-mueller had as well: Startet a Multi, got the coordinates of stage 2, entered them, GPSr showed the new coordinates, and I went to stage 2. At stage 2, found and entered the coordinates for stage 3, but the GPSmap didnt't show these coordinates, it showed the listed coordinates instead. Tried several times, but everytime I entered the coordinates of stage 3, the 66s changed them to the listed coordinates. I couldn't find this issue on GPSrchive, or maybe I missed it. Has anyone else ever had this problem with the 66s or any other Garmin GPSr or is this a known issue of FW 9.90 and 9.60? pc-mueller downgraded to FW 7.60, and it works now. But downgrading the FW isn't really what I wanna do, maybe there's another solution. Thank you! Quote

+Henne1312 Posted March 13, 2022 Author Posted March 13, 2022 Thanks for your answer! Didn’t know the Montana had a similar issue, but found out the Oregon 600 had this issue years ago and it has been resolved (bug no. 65). So it’s a comeback… Quote

+geoidhn Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 I know this an old thread but I think I have somehow pin-pointed this problematic behaviour. As far I see it happens after when one downloads coordinates from geocaching.com. After that the coordinates don't update at all. BUT if I reboot the GPSr the coordinate changes work again. At least so far I have always been able to heal (or rather bu-pass) the problem by restarting the unit. h Quote
