Garmin WebUpdater

 

I’m looking for some guidance from the group. I got a Nuvi 260 during the free give-away late last year via Amazon. I registered it in December 08 and got the update at that time. I regularly check for updates on the Updater. Since registering no up dates were available. The unit had
Software: 4.50
Audio 1.00
GPSSW Version 2.55b
On this site I kept reading about folks with 260’s that had Software version 5.00. So I decided to download a new Web Updater from Garmin today. I then checked on any updates there was one, I loaded to the 260. Now it shows
Software 4.80
Audio1.00
GPSSW ver. 2.55b
My question’s are:
1. Is this the latest software version for the new 260 with the 2*5 internals?
2. Is there a newer version of Audio then 1?
3. The GPSSW version 2.55b indicates a bravo chip. I’ve read about this chip having an update. Is this the latest GPSSW version?
Those folks with new 260’s what does your unit show when you go to tools... systems... about?

Thanks for your help.

I believe 4.08 is current

I believe 4.08 is the current firmware, but you should be good for the 60 day window map guarantee and eligible for the 2009.11 maps that were just released. But would go for it fast, your 60 days runs out soon.

Firmware version for "new" Nuvi 260

Latest firmware version for "new" Nuvi 260 is 4.80 not 4.08 as stated above.

You have a "new style" 260

You have a "new style" 260 ... so current firmware is 4.80.

Old style 260's have a different firmware.

I know, I know. Confusing ... but be happy that you have a "new style" 260.

>>Amazon free give away

Did you win it?

No CB. I got mine because I signed up for a Discover Card and a Nuvi 200 was the give away premimum. Amazon was the fulfillment house. So when the 200 showed up. I returned it to Amazon and traded up to the 260.
BYW, any info on the Audio version. Is it still 1 ?
