Hello,
I loaded the beta version 5.90 but impossible with this version to select the cards, they are all activated, I put the version 5.70 back and now I can select the cards, there is a bug.

To clarify, your (model) with firmware 5.90 installed has all maps enabled, and you are unable to enable or disable them as desired?

All IMG maps?

How about BirdsEye and Custom Maps?

Hello,
I have a 64s and yes, the maps are all activated (IMG map) and when I want to deactivate them one by one it is impossible the "deactivate" action is inoperative. I don't have a BirdEyes map.
As Garmin put a version 5.70 with this Beta 5.90 version, I put back the 5.70 and with this version, I can again deactivate and activate all my maps IMG.

Hello,
As Garmin posted an email address "outdoor.beta@garmin.com" to report the issues I wrote to tell them that I cannot deactivate all the maps.

Thank you mimichris.

The Common Issues page for GPSMAP 64 series has been updated.

Hello,
Following several emails from me and other people who have noticed bugs on the 5.90 Beta version like me, Garmin has still not modified the firmware. Too bad because this version allows you to connect to "Garmin Explore" which has advantages.

@mimichris, it has only been a month. While we all enjoy living in a world of instant gratification, you will have to exercise a little more patience here.
