BirdsEye Direct Image Quality
the BirdsEye images downloaded with WiFi on the 66sr are not sharp and of poor quality, certainly degraded on purpose so as not to have too large a file, I cannot use them. It's been like that for a long time, when I had the 66s it was the same.
Do you have an idea on how to save the WiFi number to connect, because it is painful, each time to put the capital letter, the numbers, not easy at Garmin? thanks in advance.

Yes, in direct comparison with aerial photos taken by low-flying aircraft.
No, they are identical to Maxar's raw footage down to the pixel level. Here is the same area directly from the DigitalGlobe tile servers:
What do you mean?

Garmin actually announced in March of 2020 that they had improved BirdsEye Imagery (press release here), but when we compared some of the new imagery with our much older imagery data (see BirdsEye Imagery Comparison), we found the exact opposite to be true.

Which detail level was selected before downloading the imagery, Standard, High, or Highest?
See GPSrChive > GPSMAP 66sr > Pages > BirdsEye Direct for additional details.

Re: BirdsEye Direct Image Quality
How big the difference ends up being obviously also depends on the region under consideration:

I misspoke, it's the WiFi connection number with letters and numbers, the Garmin keyboard is very difficult to use.

Re: BirdsEye Direct Image Quality
here is the birdsEye image seen at scale 1 but unusable on the 66sr given its low zoom.

Re: BirdsEye Direct Image Quality
here's the slightly sharper low-scale image on the 66sr, unreadable to track.

Re: BirdsEye Direct Image Quality
I picked a random French village and created a GIF animation comparing BirdsEye to Maxar, Bing, BD Ortho and Enedis:
The 66sr does change the aspect ratio of the images it downloads from services.digitalglobe.com, but not the resolution.
PS: I don't know how to add inline attachments the way @mimichris does it.

If you mean the SSID and password, yes, but you only have to enter them once?
