That list appears to show all updates going all the way back to v2.90.

A little sloppy on Garmin's part!

I picked out the new updates and added them to the first post.

Thank You!

Ha! I should have read this last post first! I was reading the list and thinking over and over, "wait, they fixed that one a while age didn't they?" "And that one, and that one....." :lol:

CheminerWill, I was just thinking about you this weekend, wondering if you are still enjoying your GPSMAP 66sr?

I do not quite understand this:

Also, I am unable to duplicate.

What country are you in when this happens?

Is the 66sr registered to the same account as Garmin Connect on mobile phone?

I work on a ship and am sailing... Basically when the unit is turned on and you go to wifi settings and try turning on the wifi it doesnt switch on... The only way to switch on wifi is then by doing a soft reset by long pressing power button or by manually searching wifi by garmin connect... as soon as i search manually the wifi can be toggled to on position... I had this issue in 3.3 ... upgraded to 3.8 and still there... spoke to garmin chat couple of times but not resolved... So i need a phone to each time to switch on wifi or need to soft reset... annoying... but the unit works fine...

I would be interested to see if this behavior continues after you are on dry land again, in the same country as the device was registered.
