Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2008 12:32 am Post subject: Firmware 4.30 available for 660 |
|
|
* Added support for MSN Canada
* Addressed an issue of missing MSN Direct movie times
* Addressed an issue in GPS Buddy where an out going message can be stuck in the message queue and never get sent
* Addressed an issue with Cyclops speed camera cache
GPS Buddy is a tracking system. See http://www.gps-buddy.com/site/EN/GPS-Buddy-product-pro-garmin.html
So what does the 660 contain that lets it send messages - or is it just part of the Bluetooth function?
I don't see much point in updating to this one!
Now wouldn't it be nicer if they added multi waypoint functionality as per the 700 series - or the ability to plan routes on the PC using MapSource and transferring them to the 600 series. |

It may be worth upgrading to see if Garmin have fixed the issue with the MP3 tracks skipping when the unit gets near to a speed camera. Version 4.20 seemed to introduce this bug. |

According to the accounts on other forums, regarding these same fixes in other firmware, this hasn't been fixed yet. |

In the US, as well as RDS-TMC traffic support, there is different hardware which supports the MSN Direct services, which also offers traffic services. _________________ Please don't be offended if I do not reply to a PM - please ask questions via the forums. |

New maps gave me 4.30 as part of the installation process. On my first real trip today there are no issues. |
