Have any of you done any more testing with the Firmware 3.10 release?

The original large spikes issue I reported with Expedition mode was fixed in firmware 3.0 and has stayed fixed in 3.10.

However I still have the issue that once EM is enabled, the satellite connection is completely lost on resuming to normal mode, requiring a power off and back on to engage the satellites again. I did a short video of this behaviour for Garmin support which has been sent to the US for investigation. On my device, this presently renders EM useless.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has this problem with EM.
