A post with the above subject has been locked... It seems to me there is still room for discussion - 12 days ago a user asked "Has Garmin decided to do anything about this yet?" - the answer appears to be no. Garmin still appears to have no interest in updating the, most recent but one, top of the range model. I think it is important that people can discuss this and ensure that anyone purchasing the S70 understands that any software on the following model is unlikely to be updated on the s70.
That said, Garmin appears to update software where it provides an incentive to buy another Garmin product such as the Z30 (the range finder links to watch to show distance, I have it and it is very useful).
