Thanks to @mimichris, I had the opportunity to repeat one of my earlier tests with a current CPE.BIN on both the 65s and 66sr:

I wonder how well a high end smartphone would perform in the forest. Did anyone compare say a Pixel 6 with a 66sr yet?

I sometimes use Locus as software on my MI9 Xiaomi, multiband, but the track is not very nice, less nice than the 66sr, I think the management of GPS on a smartphone is not optimized like on a real GPS hiking.
