vivoactive 6 - GPS software version

The fenix 8 is using the SYN4778 for GNSS (confirmed in F Tipi teardown), so I'm wondering whether the vivoactive 6 is perhaps using the single-band SYN47762.

Can someone please confirm the system + GPS software version numbers in their vivoactive 6? I'd also like to see these version numbers for the vivoactive 5.

If the GPS software version number for the vivoactive 6 is lower, it might suggest a move away from the single-band Airoha AG3335MN.

    On my vivoactive 6 running latest firmware 10.14 versions show as

    GPS: 8.02

    Wi-Fi: 28.27

    CIQ: 5.1.1

    BMX: 20.6.0

    WHR: 20.06.00

    ANT/BLE/BT: 28.27

    TSC: 0.17

    CWPT: 3.09

    NFC: 3.5.7

    WLT: 3.2.14

    ETE: 6.24.0.6

    Let me know if you need further information

    Awesome, thanks.

    GPS 8.02 suggests a continuation of the VA5 software, since new watches often seem to start with GPS version 2.x. 

    Does anyone have a vivoactive 5 for comparison?

    Can you check one more thing for me?

    Please open a FIT file using https://www.fitfileviewer.com/ and check "Device Info" for the GPS product number.

    This is my Instinct E, reporting the GPS product number as 3866 (Airoha AG3335MN) with system software 5.19 and GPS software 11.01.

    I'd like to know the GPS product number for the VA 6, and whether it is also reporting 3866 (single-band AG3335MN).

    Thanks in advance!
