+Mineral2 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It seems that many of the feature differences between Nuvi models is purely software limitations: the ability to load and store routes, the ability to speak street names, display speed limits, paperless caching, etc. Therefore, it shouldn't be out of the question to simply install software/OS onto the device to bring about this functionality. I'm sure Garmin has placed blocks preventing the software from one model to be installed on another, but are there any 3rd party installations available to bring such advanced functions to introductory models? I'm thinking of something analogous to the Magic Lantern for Canon DSLR's which have been able to add extra features that take advantage of existing hardware. Quote Link to comment
+splashy Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 For now there isn't and the operating (firmware) part of a Garmin seems a closed book for everybody. Quote Link to comment
