Hi Guys,

anybody here can reproduce the following problem: if i enable bluetooth on the GPSMAP66i and the device is connected with my iphone 12 pro max, the gps reception of the 66i is every few seconds lost or very bad. if i disable bluetooth on the garmin, everything is fine.

Firmware Update 8.10 was just released today, may want to try that first!

interesting, and if you switch to only use GPS (and not Glonass)?

Video was great! Just wished you would have switched Bluetooth off during the video for a live comparison, and to rule out your environment.
