* 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.

If I remember correctly: nothing; the functionality is contained within the GPS Buddy hardware, which connects via the mini USB port...

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.

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