 EDIT BY GPSPASSION - 20071203 : Garmin have just rolled out version 3.00 of the software for their units equipped with the "Type G Chipset", their internal name for the SiRFstarIII chipset apparently, since that update corresponds to SiRF's latest v3.2.5 firmware.
Since the latest v3.2.4 version released last year, improvements include better jamming mitigation and enhanced ephemeris collection in difficult environments, something that helps to get a "warm fix" in the morning
1. Upgraded the nüvi 200 to v3.50 first and then got the option to download the "Type G" firmware, and I found by looking at the .bin file that the SiRF firmware is GSW3.2.5GARMIN_3.3.01.06-SDK001P1.0 - the first time I've seen a 3.2.5 generation, added here http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=27925
2. Webupdater updated the 60CSx, nüvi 300 and nüvi 660 as well (someone reported the SP550 too), so it's likely all the SiRFstarIII based Garmin GPS systems (Garmin calls them "Type G" for some reason) are having that new firmware rolled out.
New gps chipset type G / 3.00s available with Webupdater. |

I wonder if there are any release notes around? |

| Garmin has use at least 3 chipset i the Nüvi line, so If you do not see SiRF update in Webupdater, you do not have SiRF. |
Previously owned : GPS "eTrex Yellow" "GPSmap 76S" "GPSMap 60CS" "GPSMAP 60CSx" "Nüvi 660"
Unit I have now :"Nüvi 760 EU" "Nüvi 765" "Edge 305" "Colorado 300" |

| But AFAIK, only the 2xx range has had non-SiRF chipsets, actually the "internal" Garmin Bravo, the MTK version has only been seen on some engineering samples, neoadrenalin had one if memory serves. |

| For what it is worth, the GPSmap 60CSx, which also has the SIRF chipset, was updated to 3.0 via the Web Updater also. It appears that all SIRF GPSrs were udated to 3.0, not only the Nuvis. |
Nuvi 650 (SW 4.30; GPS SW 3.00) , GPSmap 60CSx (SW 3.50; GPS SW 3.00), GPS III Plus |

| From what can see, the 370 came with SiRF III and chipset type G - so no upgrade required |

Thanks for the link, here's what I did
1. Download .exe
2. Extract .rgn
3. Found FW rev number : GSW3.2.4GARMIN_3.1.00.12-SDK001P1.01
In other words, "type G" = "SiRFstarIII" and v2.90 updated the firmware to v3.2.4...LAST YEAR
Now if anyone can do that for v3.00 or has a link to download the v3.00 we can see what FW they've pushed this time. |
