This the zumo 660's recent firmware update changelog but note the MSN Direct v3 support as well as the ability to view cities on the main map screen (this was removed on the nuvi xx5 series)...maybe it will make a comeback on the nuvi series as well...maybe.

MSN Direct v3 already available on the Nuvi 855 and 885T
MSN Direct v3 with Weather Radar and Alerts, Send Routes to GPS, and Flight Delay Status are already available on the Nuvi 855 and 885T that I have.
The larger cities show up on the map view on my 8x5 units. Were the smaller cities shown before? I do not remember if my old 760 showed them or not.

you may be right...
Unless the version numbering is skewed somehow, you may very well be right. I think it was the "v3" that threw me as I wasn't thinking of the 6xx series as being v1.
