When I pan the map with the D-PAD on my GPSmap 62sc and then press (Find), the position of the cursor on the map is used as the center of the search.
Doing the same on the 66s always uses the current (or last known) GPS location as the center of the search disregarding the cursor position on the map.
I initially put this down to a change in functionality between the two units, but I recently had to perform a hard reset on the 66s and the first time I pressed (Find) after this the following dialog appeared:
'Hint: You can also set a search location by pressing FIND when panning on the map.'
Therefore I think that the current behavior is erroneous and it should actually use the current cursor position on the map (if the map has been panned) when (Find) is pressed.

Any chance of adding this to the bug list on the Common Issues page?

If the issue still exists after the next firmware update, yes. (Remind Me!)

With software 4.70 it seems this issue is still there.

Re: Bug: using (Find) when panning the map [Bug 88]
Hi.
A nice observation is that it seems to have been changed in firmware 9.90.
When i panned the map, pressed find and then immediately selected Fuel Services -> Auto fuel, the unit actually returned fules station near the pointer, not near the current location (as it was doing up to 9.60 firmware).
So i imagine this bug is corrected. Can anyone else confirm my observation?
