This update also has a bug that breaks CIQ data fields. Stay away if you use them.

No mention of the most annoying bug in the current software: The course has the same colour as the travelled path in navigation view. Should be easy to fix, as it was working in older softwares.

Can someone tell me what this means?

Adds map types and map data field options

I've seen somewhere that some garmin devices will be able to show map and some custom fields on the same screen - is this it?

Yes - exactly. I added Distance as a data field to my breadcrumb map.

I didn't think we'd get that on 255. That's good news (I think, I'll have to try it myself to see if it lives up to my hype :D )

Also, "Fixes popularity map theme not being displayed"? Does the 255 have popularity maps?

What about the reduced font size in an earlier fw that was discussed a lot some time ago?

I agree with you, it's a big problem to follow the way. See :

Is there a forecast for the official arrival of firmware 16.09 on devices?
