As I mentioned, I will bet that the Garmin's are sending the waypoint or lat/lon coordinates as part of their power on test routine. If you have the GS threshold set >0 and you're not moving during the power on, it shouldn't capture the leg. This seems to be be confirmed by the other poster. I would guess that a setting of 1 or 2 still should keep you from ending legs at the top of the loop.

If you tell me where the log settings are, I will change mine and confirm this. I would further speculate that the previous version ignored the POST data (possibly unintentionally) and while addressing a different problem, they introduced this new behavior. It happens all the time in the s/w business.

Thanks Larry. I heard back from Jeff and GRT and he's still looking into this. He did tell me that he put a 20 second delay in the logging programming to stop the problem with the loop problem back an update or two ago. In this latest release they added the new ground speed setting for the ADSB ground switching. I changed mine from AUTO to 30. I'm going to try it back in AUTO just to see if that makes a difference. I'll have to dig around and find where the GS settings are for the log/flight timers.

Let Jeff know that the log entry is always 03PR -> your current location. This supports the theory that the HXr sees the lat/lon for Olathe during the startup test and then a few seconds later sees the lat/lon for your current location. This is likely forcing the HXr logic to record that as a flight leg. He needs to introduce some logic to filter out that situation. The problem is that it will "usually" be associated with HX startup, but will also happen any time you turn on your Garmin device.
