    Sorry to follow my own post again, but this is not really appropriate to do as an edit to the above because it might not be noticed as easily and I would welcome some thoughts by others. I have done some further research and still cannot come up with anything about the 'elusive' 42/52 series. This has got me a bit intriged, as we all know what a pack of giggling gossips Garmin GPS fanboys are, don't we?

    These are now my thoughts:

    1. It really is the 140/150T fw disguised as 42/52 (quite likely i think); or

    2. It is simply a further development of 40/50 fw with no traffic, and therefore the 42/52 naming and the HWID of 1631 are both just 'red herrings' and it will be released as v2.8 or> with 40/50 HWID of 1350 (maybe...?, but why would they give the base models a 'tart-up' with a nice new look?); or

    3. The fw is genuinely for a new secret model series 42/52 with HWID 1631 which nobody had heard of or talked about (seems unlikely to me now because there have been no rumours or reports).

    Any other ideas, or has anyone heard anything at all about Nuvi 42/52 either before or since Giomen so kindly posted the link to the UAT002_283.gdc? If not even a rumour has been heard, then maybe it is just a phantom series and therefore Garmin's version of a Q-ship. Can someone get hold of a 140 or 150T to see it's HWID and check the fw for traffic capablilities? Giomen has either an advanced Asp aversion and/or a genuine fear of travel to Germany so i've given up on him. One of you other rich Europeans please, go buy one (or beg, borrow or steal one).

    PS: If Caty, Loly, Angelo, Giomen, ddabcd277 or anyone known and trusted by me wants a region scan of my modded 40/42 just tell me what you want and i'll PM it.
