Garmin have updated their software to v2.60 with the rather cryptic "Added new manufacturing support" http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=5089

Anyone any ideas what this means?

Tried my best to find out, even getting a bit snippy with the last one. Answers ranged from "we only know what the engineer's put in the notes" to the final one: We can't tell you, it's proprietary.

But I have seen at least one improvement. How's your map scrolling?

I have not noticed any difference with the map scrolling but it always seem fine to me.

The lack of clarity on the purpose of the update does seem rather bizarre.

I suppose they rely on the fact that 90% of users have no idea what the firmware is or does so an expanation is not really relevant to them.
