Firmware update for newer TomTom devices

[rdrivas]

I just connected my VIA 1605 to myTomTom and it offered a firmware update. The update went through without any issues. Who knows what is new with this version of the software?

Among other things:

1. The max speed again shows for models with 6" screens
2. The poi search range has extended from previous 50 miles to up to 1200 miles. Max of 96 listings will appear on screens now.
3. Twitter works again, I think.

I think dhn can be allowed a "general list" (there's no Via with a 6" screen either is there?)

Yes -- Our Via1605 is your Start60. Somewhere in the bowels of TTHQ, there's a guy who specializes in confusing everyone by coming up with stray numbers for worldwide use ...
