I don't think Magellan included a list of the revisions in the software
updates for the Meridian series. Did you know there are only two
software downloads for all Meridians and the non-color SporTrak? V5.40
and VT4.51. And that either of those two versions can be used with any
model Meridian or non-color SporTrak.

The color SporTrak uses a third version of the software.

The downloads are here: http://www.magellangps.com/en/support/software.asp

The following (included as a text file with the software downloads)
explains the difference between the V5.40 and VT4.51 in use:

"Q: Can I use my DirectRoute compatible GPS receiver for street routing
and for marine use with the BlueNav charts?
A: Yes, but you have a GPS firmware decision to make. For most people
who want to use their GPS with DirectRoute and BlueNav, the right choice
is the Standard receiver firmware. It will do street routing if a
DirectRoute map is active, and it will do all functions except marine
tides and currents when a BlueNav chart is active. Conversely, if you
choose the Marine firmware load because you really need tides and
currents, you can use DirectRoute maps, search POIs, etc. but you can’t
street route with that firmware. The one exception is SporTrak Color -
it has only one firmware load, and it can do both routing and
tides/currents. Firmware Update CD 1.00e contains all the current
firmware, Standard and Marine, and detailed instructions on their uses.
Firmware for handhelds can also be downloaded from the Magellan website."

Magellan no longer publishes changelist. In going from v5.35 to v5.40 on the
Meridian, it bought at least these two things:

1) Track Log is no longer erased when starting a street-route when using
DirectRoute. That bug started with v5.22 on the Meridian series.
2) Adds support for the new Mapsend Lakes USA maps

Thanks all, I thought I read somewhere (but cant find it) that it also
increased waypoints/route from 30 to 45 or so. WIll load it and see.
