Garmin 276 software in Zumo 660 in march!

I talked to a Swedish Garmin rep. today and he gave me some good news.

Garmin will release a similar software for the Zumo 660 that was used in the Garmin 276 units. According to him this software will be available in mid march.

I asked him if the software include the most important features.

1, Detailed maps when zoomed out (as it was in old Garmin units up to 1,2 km)?
Answer: Probably, but not sure.

2, Possibility to see the scale on the map?
Answer: Probably not.

Well, we have to wait and see when the software comes out!

I hope he's wrong about the on-screen scale, I find it's absence a real let down compared to the 2610. At least now we can disable the autozoom, that was doing my head in! Even now though, I reckon it's turned itself back on at least twice
