If you own a Zumo 590 do not install the new firmware ver. 3.10 released March 26. The new firmware has a bug that prevents the media player from un-muting following a GPS voice direction. This affects only the media player, and you won't have other problems with navigation.
If you use the GPS to control music to a headset the GPS will mute the media player for each voice direction, phone call or other priority interrupts. Normal operation is that the media player resumes priority after the voice direction concludes. The firmware 3.10 bug prevents the music from un-muting although it will continue to play on the iPhone or other music source, but muted. The user has to manually restart the music by opening the media player, pressing pause, then pressing play to resume.
Since you may receive dozens or hundreds of interrupts on any ride, depending on route complexity, this gets to be pretty annoying and possibly unsafe. So, if you haven't "upgraded" yet, don't. I posted the bug on ADVrider, and it is common to all upgraded units. I reported the bug to Garmin by email, but they are on Good Friday holiday. It will be a while until this gets resolved.
Looking for a way to roll-back, meanwhile will pair directly with the phone and not use the GPS for music.
