Hello,

Garmin Express is offering this update for my 64sx. Because there are "rumours" ;-) about Garmin updates having worsened firmware bugs or introduced new ones I always hesitate to install these updates immediately after release. As another measure I tried to download FW 2.70 from

https://download.garmin.com/software/GP ... r__270.gcd

but received message "The requested URL /software/GPSMAP64sx_WebUpdater__270.gcd was not found on this server." Is there any other source where this FW can be downloaded? Many thanks in advance for helpful hints.

Best regards

Makes no sense to me. So your strategy will be to get those supposed bugs later than all others and get it fixed later than all others.
What would make sense to me is to install latest and downgrade back if any trouble.

t's my experience that update bugs are reported very soon after its release, e. g. with Garmin Express or 66i. Because of this it has proved good for me to always wait some time after such releases before installing them. Unfortunately, it seems that the 64sx obviously doesn't belong to the top selling GPSrs so that there is not so much discussion about this type like it is about more popular devices. Therefore my question here. But YMMV ...
