A quick question - is the only difference on the 310 vs the 300 that it has bluetooth, or are there other changes (ie software) which the 310 has, and which aren't available via an update from Garmin?

The reason for asking is that all the shops in Tottenham Court Road were happy to sell me the 300, except for an "official" Garmin distributor who insisted (1) the 300 was now a discontinued model and (2) not only did it have bluetooth but also the software/operating system was also updated and therefore better than the 300. I assume this was salesman spiel because he didn't have 300s in stock and wanted to sell me a 310 for £50 more, but thought I would ask the experts on here!

The salesman was partly right - there were a number of new features (Garmin Lock, ability to display different vehicle icons instead of an arrow) that were only listed for the new 310/360 units.

However, last week Garmin updated the 300/350 software to include these features too - so, yes, the main difference (and posssibly only difference) between the 300 and the 310 is the Bluetooth.
