New 66i with all updates via Garmin Express as of this date. With and without TOPO map card inserted, the unit freezes whenever Recorded Activities is selected, requiring a soft reboot. I have not performed a full reset yet. Is there a history of this?

Can you connect your GPSMAP 66i to your computer via USB and rename the GPSr\Garmin\Activities directory to something like "Activities BKP" and reboot and see if the issue is resolved?

That fixed it!! It also fixed the frozen screen when "Calendar" is selected. I saved a test track, and it did link to the calendar as well.
Many Thanks!

You can start adding the FIT files from the old Activities folder to the new Activities folder one by one if you desire, until the problem returns, and then you will know the last file you put back is the issue.
If you do not need or want any of them, then carry on! (Delete the old folder if this is the case)
