purchase new mini 3 plus yesterday, charge to 100%, update firmware, all ok.
place it in a location with clear view of the sky and it burns through the battery in 48 hours and it keeps saying "trouble sending"
The bug is that without an active subscription it should not be trying to send or receive anything and as its doing this continually its depleting the battery at 50% a day.
Once you get a subscription, this does not happen. !!!
This is a logic bug, it should NOT be trying to contact satellites when there isnt an active subscription, why would you ?.
The IR mini 2, does not suffer from this bug, it works as expected and has around 14 days battery life without an active subscription.
Garmin, please fix this, the device is meant to work properly without an active subscription.
