I have a Nuvi 260 with GPS SW 2.55b. It has some of the features of the 2*5 series especially the way the map displays. The zoom icons are to the top right of the screen along with speed, menu and arrival time on the bottom in that order. It also has the Where am I feature.
It doesn't have geo tagged navigation and I wasn't able to get Eco routing on the recent most update.
Currently at firmware 4.80, webupdater says that's the latest though some 260 owners are reporting they have 5.0 now. I guess that has to do with the chipset, 2.55b as per the article is STM Cartesio, so maybe it doesn't need the 5.0.
I got this unit in mid Feb 09, so Garmin was probably using the 2*5 chipsets for the last batch of 260's. As per their website 260 is now discontinued. Does anybody know if they'll continue to offer firmware updates ? |

| Just checked webupdater yesterday and it offered a 5.0 firmware update. Unit's been updated, everything seems to be running good for now. |

| My nuvi 260 has Software Version 5.00, Audio Version: 1.00, and GPS SW Version: 2.55b. Also microSD slot. Discontinuation seemingly made for some nice upgrade goodies, really like this unit. |

Thanks for the update, hard to understand what's going on! I'll see if I can get some info on that potential new chipset/platform. Since the eTrex H series use the MTK v1 chipset maybe they've switched to the MTK v2 chipset already used on the Qstarz Nano BT dataloggers. Could you tell us how you find the performance of your eTrex in the eTrex H Topic?
Some news on this front with this PR http://tinyurl.com/mtkgarmin announcing the new MTK v2 (MTK3329) chipset...that's been available since late last year, but MTK are now saying it has been adopted by Garmin, but not in the eTrex H but on the GPSMap60, which seems odd since that platform has always been SiRFStarIII based. Either that has changed or they got the model wrong! |

Interesting and interesting to see that topic ends with a link to my MTK v2 testing ;-)
Wonder how they established it was indeed MTK v2 though, normally you would look at copyright info or GPS SW version like we tried to do with louchem last year on the previous page when he was having problems updating his eTrex and we suspected it might be MTK v2 already. |

| Cartesio FW is now at v4.10b (in the latest 1XXX and 2X5 software, maybe Oregon too). The portal page should be updated. |
