GPSmap 66s, "Next-Stage"-coordinates won't change

[+Henne1312]

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!

The Montana 7x0 has a similar issue (Common Issues - Bug 98), and they do all share some common code, so I am not surprised to hear that you are experiencing this behavior on the GPSMAP 66.

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…
