G3X Touch Software
Any words on when we can expect a fix or should we all revert to 5.6? Just looking for a little guidance before moving forward/backward. Thanks!

5.70 touch
I flew with 5.7 yesterday, and noticed the touch interface wasn't as responsive as it was with my previous flights - meaning I would press buttons multiple times and they wouldn't register - or the would highlight, showing that I did press it - but it didn't activate. This was most prevalent when I was trying to type in the identifier for the waypoints

First, a quick reminder that we are flying experimental aircraft. If you want a higher level of reliability it is going to come with increased costs and and fewer options (i.e. the world of certified aircraft).
That said, I think Garmin has maintained a remarkable level of reliability considering their rapid pace of development with a relatively small team of people. I'm grateful that I have panel with capability and a price-point people only dreamed about 10 years ago.
One last note, I offered to do Beta testing for Garmin and they said their legal department will only let Garmin employees test software.

Easy fix for that, put some beta testers on the payroll

Absolutely! I had an opportunity to work for Garmin last year in their systems group doing new technology development. Great people, fantastic benefits, and a way to do what you love all day every day! Unfortunately the timing and location wasn't right for the rest of my family. It would have been fun to beta test the latest and greatest!

After the last go around I believe I will wait a few weeks before updating....

Version 5.90
Installed 5.90 this morning, all went well. G5 was the slowest to update, so advise go slow in the the shutdown and reboot of G3X as the G5 takes a while to receive and update software.
AP worked fine and no other issues detected.
G3X
G5
GTN625
GDL39
GTR20
307 and VP-X Pro

Looks to be OK
Installed 5.90 Friday afternoon and took it up for a flight. Everything appears to work smoothly, including the G5, GSA28 Servos and GMC-307 controller.
