Hi.
On GPSMAP 66st. After updating from 9.90 to 10.20 firmware i notice that if the unit has run for some 30 minutes or more then sometimes (often enough) when going through the menu to the Recording controls, while there. using up and down works well, but using left or right does not switch between the tabs.

If unit is restarted it works normally for some time.

997,

Can we please have some additional information for our duplication efforts?

Are Recording Controls enabled (recording a track)?

Are you leaving a recording controls page tab open the entire time before the left right buttons stop working? Which one?

Any other details you can share?

Q: Can we please have some additional information for our duplication efforts?
A: Hard to say since it does not happen all the time.

Q: Are Recording Controls enabled (recording a track)?
A: Auto start on, auto stop off. Recording method is auto with most often save interval. Saving both FIT and GPX. Trip recording Always. Reset prompted.

Q: Are you leaving a recording controls page tab open the entire time before the left right buttons stop working? Which one?
A: No never, i do normal operation and then when i went to MENU->MENU->Recording control the issue sometimes occur.

We have been testing three devices, a GPSMAP 66s, GPSMAP 66i, and a GPSMAP 66sr, for more than 12 hours now, and none of them have yet exhibited the behavior described.

We will continue to monitor them during future activities.

That's good news, lets hope i had bad luck a couple of times.
Even i have now had the unit on for a number of hours 3-4 times and not had more issues.
