Damien,
You’re right. It’s probably only software, though perhaps the unit would need more RAM and a slightly better processor too.
I guess its one of the few features Garmin could pull out to make a truly entry level nuvi. We’ll probably see an updated 300 series line at some point, with the new internal antenna, though I don’t know if they are in any hurry to do that. After all, the 350 and 360 are the top selling nuvis, by far.

Hi,
Just wondering why Garmin doesn’t have text-to-speech with the nuvi 2XX range? It’s only software right? And these units already have voice prompts?
I realise they want to have different ends of the market covered, but the lack of an external antenna is a killer feature IMO. What do you think?
Cheers,
Damien.
