The article didn't say
Garmin had started the move away from Sirf chips last summer
Garmin had started the move away from Sirf chips last summer and none of the new models that I'm aware of use them any longer. That has really got to have hurt Surf to loose 10's of millions of chip sales a year from Garmin. Garmin even started the move in the middle of the model lifespan. The original 760's had Sirf but last summer the later production 760's went to the new MTK v1 - MTK3318 chipset.

Just purchased my Nuvi 780 in Dec '08 and it has the SiRF chip. Not sure if that's good or bad
