Eindeutig Rückzug! Hier vier Erfahrungen zu FW 2.5 aus der US-Site GPSPassion:

"Changes from 2.40 to 2.50
* added stutter to TTS voices to irritate nuvi owners
I thought I just hadn't noticed it before, but I've got this too
Still hasn't fixed the recurrent re-initialising of BT firmware.
Note: Windows Mobile devices don't seem to support the SMS function.
My Advice: Don't upgrade to 2.50"

"After loading v2.5, my bluetooth went from 2.21 to 2.4. Now, it hangs when I connect to my phone. Tried downgrading to v2.4, but my bluetooth stays at 2.4 and I still have the same problem. Looks like this Nuvi is going back to Garmin."

"Went back to v2.5. Now, my Nuvi is in an endless loop of updating bluetooth firmware, where it gets to 99% then starts over."

"I received the studdering with all the english speaking voices. I downgraded to 2.4 and all is well now. Also noticed that my text messaging did not work with 2.5."

Das sollte Grund genug gewesen sein, diese Version zurückzuziehen. Man hätte nur die funktionierende FW 2.4 wieder reinstellen sollen. Der allseits bekannte Perry hat sie noch im Angebot: KLICK
