Possibly, yes... We will have to wait for Garmin to figure it out!

For those who turn wifi and Bluetooth off and never connect via USB, do the Galileo satellites flash on your devices?

In fact I was a bit quick after putting the unpatched firmware back, today the Galileo satellites are blinking and has nothing to do with the patch.

Hello,
Yesterday hike, after arriving I looked at the satellites, The Galileo satellites were fixed so it was taken into account. It takes more than three hours of operation for the galileo satellites to be taken into account ?

I wonder if Garmin is not doing it on purpose to favor its L5 GPS satellites.

Hello,
It has been several times that the D + (cumulative elevation gain) has been wrong, for example for 270m of D + real, it gives me 1200m, whatever the configuration of the altimeter, have you noticed this error on your 66sr?

Galileo satellites still flash after three hours of operation, even with the new CPE.

Please share a gpx track or two that exhibit this behavior for analysis.

It is not the trace that is the problem but the 66sr which gives me abberant D + at the end of the hike, while the GPX trace is normal, so I cannot reproduce it.

Please then document with screen captures so we can try to reproduce the behavior.

Unfortunately I put back version 3.30 before capturing a screen, with this version 3.30 the D + is quite correct, I did a little hike this day and everything is normal at the D + level.
Galileo satellites are still flashing after approximately two hours of operation only one Galileo satellite was fixed.
I would like to know if the 65s no longer has this Galileo problem after patch 4.00.

I reset version 3.80 and I still have the exaggerated D + problem, see today's screenshot, 9Km hike and 370 from D +.
I have never done 915m or 926m of D + .....

I put back version 3.30 it seems to me better at the level of the Galileo satellites, this morning they do not flash any more for the moment and the recording of a track is more precise compared to the ground. I'll see all of this on my next hike.
