Hi.
GPSmap 66st with software 4.10, GPS 2.70.

Two small issues (reported to garmin) but perhaps others can confirm or deny.

1.
Having around 100 waypoints, going into the waypoint manager takes about a second.
During the loading time, i can press the D-pad up and move to the last waypoint by scrolling backwards.
After the list is loaded, it is not possible to scroll around from top up to bottom, or from bottom down to get to the very top.
It's not a big issue, but it would be more convenient to be able to scroll in any direction also from top and bottom.

2.
When in waypoint manager.
After deleting a waypoint, the pointer (marked line) does move to the top of the list.
It would be more convenient to work with waypoints if the pointer moved to the next or previous point instead.
One would not need to scroll the list again to return back to the point one was at.

Confirmed and posted to GPSrChive > GPSMAP 66 > Common Issues > {Bug 79} and {Bug 80}.

Reported to Garmin.

{Bug 79} and software 4.70.
using D-pad while the list is loading does not work any longer, so now it is even more inconvenient.

With firmware update 4.70, the (D-PAD Down) still functions while the Waypoint Manager List is being populated.

Correct, to clarify: the possibility to jump from the top to the bottom by pressing D-pad up when being at the top is no longer there at all, nor to jump from the bottom to the top by pressing D-pad down while being at the bottom. Instead one has to scroll the complete list, or search by typing.

Therefore i do not think that bug 79 is resolved. it is still there. (or it should be a requested feature).
