The 128 GB microSD card with all my maps, POIs, BirdsEye imagery, tracks etc. which didn't work with firmware 4.70 is OK with this version.

Really?
What brand and type?
That is interesting.... And very good news for those using microSD cards over 32GB in size!

Re: GPSMAP 66 Firmware 4.80
Was there any detail of anything from 4.20? That’s a lot of minor versions skipped?

Re: GPSMAP 66 Firmware 4.80
Five posts down from this one, in the same forum, is the GPSMAP 66 Firmware 4.70 thread. You will find there were a lot of updates and improvements between 4.20 and 4.70, that is why so many 'minor versions' were skipped.
Art, have you visited GPSrChive? If not, please do!
Once you have GPSrChive loaded in your favorite browser, start by selecting the desired device (in this case, the GPSMAP 66), then select the 'Firmware' page to view a list of all the release notes for each and every firmware version for the selected device!
