Search Function Broken v9.49
Posted: Sat Sep 12, 2026 4:23 pm
I received the new firmware version 9.49 for the GPSMAP 67 on September 11th.
After installing it, I tried using the search function.
Specifically, searching for POIs near a recently found destination.
After entering three letters, it feels like the device has frozen.
I have to press and hold the power button to turn it off.
After downgrading to firmware 9.46, the search function works normally again.
However, the new software is automatically reinstalled on the device
whenever it is connected to a PC.
I repeated this process three times.
But downgrading is a bit of a hassle because several settings have to be reconfigured manually.
For now, I’m sticking with firmware 9.46.
