Settings Saved Under Profiles

Unread post by robert »

What settings are saved under Profiles. I had hoped that

1) Expedition Mode On/Off/Auto
2) WiFi enabling On/Off
3) Bluetooth enabling On/Off
4) GPS Mode

Would all be saved under the profile and could all be enabled/changed by swapping profiles. My hope was to create a Hike Low Power Profile and a Hike High Resolution Profile. Alas none of these seem to be part of the profile?

Any thoughts?

i have problems (GPSMAP 66s) Firmware 3.10 when I change from profile 1 to profile 2 some features (settings) are changed in profile 2 (same like profile 1) not all of them but a few of them, any thoughts about this?

Track Log Recording Method and Interval are Profile Dependent.

Any update on this? I have reported to Garmin to get High Power settings added to the Profile. But adding this your your bug/feature list I am sure will add some weight?

I really think this is a feature that should be included within the unit. Why would you not want to have high power optional features part of a profile? Any chance you can add this to your feature request list to add some weight?
