The official Garmin update channels had flagged a corrupted firmware package for the 10R04 series—specifically, sub-version 6953. The patch notes were bland: “Improved GPS acquisition stability in high-EMF environments.” But the telemetry told a different story. Units that received the update started reporting ephemeris data that didn’t match any known satellite constellation. Worse, three marine devices had drifted 40 nautical miles off the coast of Nova Scotia before their alarms screamed.
