Apart from Beidou system accuracy, which should be only 10 meters for civilian usage, is it confirmed that on the 66sr is/will be enabled to receive such satellites ? ( picture credit: gpsradler.de )

Based on the serial number displayed, that appears to be a very early production unit, most likely a test device.
We would like to request that others share photos of the label on the back of their GPSMAP 66sr here for comparison.

I purchased mine about a month ago. The BeiDou line is now missing.

Mine arrived 20 minutes ago : it seems to be "European version" like the one in the first picture, but also in this case, Beidou has been removed from the sticker..
Case closed, I'd say, at least for the moment.
Maybe the hardware is there, ready to be used by the firmware. I don't know what to say, it might be something that has to do with the tense commercial situation between USA and China : I suspect we will have to wait until next year, then...

I bought mine in november and it doesn't have Beidou on the label.
