Hello
I can return my gpsmap67 to the dealer and get a new one with 4.70 which version do you recommend? I think the 5.30 should be the best. (Has not much Bugs)
Or should I stay with 4.70?

I'd suggest to take a look at the
GPSMAP 67 Common Issues page and
GPSMAP 67 Firmware page to see what the issues and changes are in each version to determine what version would work best for you.

I'm on 6.60. There are some annoying bugs but nothing that prevents me from using the device for my use cases.
According to Garmin Support a new update is coming out in the next couple of weeks. It includes a fix for the restart issue that occurs on map views (eg when reviewing a waypoint). And hopefully some other useful fixes as well, but we'll find out once the update has been released

Or....
Just wait a few more days for the next update that others have stated Garmin Support indicated will be released this month.
Then retest.

The main thing that needs to be fixed is the ascent and descent values on a walk! That is so inaccurate for a device that is meant to be the best and super accurate.

Yes I agree it needs to be fixed. And if we report it to Garmin it will probably get fixed (although it may take some time).

Ive' reported it to Garmin, I have also messaged several times to see how it's going and everytime they ask me the same questions and to send the same stuff to them each time. My hope of them fixing it is small, especially any time soon.
