I'm sure many people who have Garmin satnavs would agree that a 'next turn' arrow in the top left corner of the display like the new NUVI 255 would be a welcome addition and should have been there all along. I also don't think that many of us are likely to buy a new Garmin just to get the arrow, so the only way to get one is to email Garmin and express our feelings!! Who's with me??

i brought this up both at the press conference and in our one-on-ne meeting with them and both times we were told that they were not updating old software to match the new features as it was a lot of internal restructuring rather than simply ading a new feature to the current software.

yes, the arrow and view was one of the reasons that sparked my big question thread. I still think they are full of the proverbial though given a mobile computing device runs software, the software doesn't run the device.

I can't believe that for colours and displays they didn't go with a simple modular system (akin to css for the web) that would've made their lives easier and allowed everyone to modify colours and layouts a little.
sure, don't open itup like mio can be, but at least a bit Sad

You can't fault the core of the garmin software, it's just lacking in a bit of programming finesse.
