What happened to my 66i after update??? no route planner, no reverse route, no proximity alarms to start with

I have a whole lot of routes installed on my  66i. Since the latest update I no longer have the following functions:

1) No route planner listed in the Meny

2) unable to see how to reverse a route.

3) no longer have proximity alarms for any of my routes.

These three features have been removed or changed somehow with the update. i actually lost proximity alarms during a hike this weekend, and on Friday I had a route planner in the menu, saturday it was gone.

I have used Garmin products for 20+ years and this just infuriates me. Common necessary features removed for whatever reason.

What is going on? How do I restore them. and dont tell me to use basecamp. I don't use Windows for anything.

    This is a good approach but be aware that the profile file format may change between device software versions. So it’s best to make a new backup of the profile file after an update, and to make sure that when restoring the device software version matches the profile file backup.

    yes it may change, thought it never did so far, all our garmin we configure the same way for years or even for decades (62s and 64s) as we have to reset an reconfigure hundereds of devices in short time.

    And sure, we have for each model, including the 66i, separate document with a list what all has to be configured by hand when the profile file is not available. In case of 66i this has two pages long list of steps.
