So, I flew my -8 the other day and all was good in the world. Flew a route I regularly fly with the autopilot in heading and nav modes and used vnav for the arrival back home with no issues.
Next day I see there's an update for the 660, so I let that update via Wi-Fi. Everything rebooted and seemed good to go. The G5 and all attached components, the 660 and 50R, are all on the current software builds. However, on my next flight I have no ADS-B traffic in, the 660 says "Fail" on the traffic page. I can see that I have good comms with towers, and am getting wx, but no traffic. Also, I can't select the nav mode on the autopilot. When I push the button on the GMC507 nothing happens, no light, no nothing. All other modes work fine.
I double-checked the software on all devices, and they all look good. Tried to reinstall the update on the G5 and nothing happens when I put the sdcard in, I'm assuming because it's the same software version. I checked in Garmin Pilot and ForeFlight and both are reporting up-to-date software on the 660 and 50R.
I eventually looked at the 50R status screen on the 660, and I see that it's saying "Transferring Update" and a percentage, so I let it complete that. The 50R rebooted and the status screen comes back up, and it says, "Transferring Update" and the percentage is 1%. so, I let it go to 100% and reboot again, and same thing. Seems to be stuck in a transferring loop; however, the version is reporting the latest software build.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
