This from a post on a Yahoo user group, which pretty much
was the same question by tfrazie:
I asked Garmin via Email the following:
I'm a current GPS III owner and will upgrade to either a 2610 or 2620
soon. With the newest firmware releases does the 2610 (with a 2 Gig
CF card) have the same functionality as the 2620. Specifically does
the 2610 now have these following "EXCLUSIVE" features from your 2620
website:
"The StreetPilot 2620 offers a number of new and EXCLUSIVE software
upgrades,including:
Multiple Destinations
Do you want to find the most efficient route for deliveries or sales
calls? Users can enter a series of destinations, and the StreetPilot
2620 will automatically sort them to provide an efficient route.
Road Segment and Area Avoidance
Would you like to avoid traffic tie-ups or roadwork? Users can
specify areas and road segments to avoid when calculating routes.
Find Nearest on Route
Are you running on empty? This time-saving feature allows users to
limit searches for gas stations, restaurants, etc., to upcoming
points near a route.
Adjustable Road Class Preference
How about taking the road less traveled? Users can adjust preferences
for major, medium, and minor road categories."
GARMINS response received today is:
"Thank you for contacting GARMIN International,
Those features were added to the STP2610 via a software update, so if
you purchase a 2gb card it will perform the same as the STP2620
would. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
With Best Regards,
