Looks thinner than the older models and it has GLONASS (which means it can see additional satellites). Dual orientation screen, same resolution as current models (400x240). Apparently a new transreflective screen technology with LED backlight? And it has Bluetooth for wireless data transfer/

Screenshots show an automotive dashboard that looks like the Montana. All around it looks like a very nice upgrade including features not available on any existing models, but it has not yet been FCC approved, so we might have to wait a bit. :)

If nothing else, this might help push Oregon 450 prices down even further if you are in the market for one.

Looks nice. I hope they made improvements to the software and the accuracy of the pointer.
