G5 Update 8.27

[Tan]

Anyone update to 8.27 have any issues. I’m still on 8.20. Everything is working great on that firmware.

No issues...loading and operating works fine...thus sayeth the hangar fairy.

What fixes are in this update? Unless you need them I wouldn’t update the firmware.

Here’s the certified (STC) G5 change history including v8.27 update: https://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=10739

I wish line items like “General improvements to system operation” were itemized.

We’re not updating until this has been out for a while.

Great stance to take. Why even bother if it's not mandatory anyway

The IGRF 2020 update is needed if you aren’t on 8.20 already, but other than that, I found nothing compelling.

If I was getting one installed, I would expect the installer to put 8.27 on it so I’d check his work is all.

Agreed, my guess is that it's their vernacular for 'bug' or 'defect' fixes.
