So I thought I was issue free for awhile except the unexpected shutdown in another post until today.

The VSR and ETE fields on the data column of the map page were erratic, blinking, and changing values quickly. The values on the GPS page were doing the same thing.

Hopefully the video is uploaded properly. Caution, the volume can be loud and it's only cockpit noise so you might want to turn the speakers down.

My guess is the GPS is the issue and the data blocks are reflecting bad position data from the GPS. Still, that's not good. I'm sure they'll ask you to dump the logs and email them in.

I just sent the logs.

I keep my USB stick at home so I can download updated nav data to bring out to the airplane. I may need to leave another stick in the airplane so I don't have to keep going back to pull the logs.

Whoa! That's a new one. I'll send a note to Tech Support to see who has the logs. Very interesting (in a bad way).
