    I know that the 500 is very popular in here so there is a new firmware out:

    http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4715
    Changes made from version 2.80 to 3.00:
    Added two additional training pages.
    Added various power-related data fields, including left and right balance for supported power meters, Normalized Power (NP), Intensity Factor (IF), Training Stress Score (TSS), maximum lap power, last lap power, and Watts/kg power.
    Improved support for power-based workouts.
    Added the ability to modify the FTP value and to recalculate the power zones based on the new FTP value.
    Made improvements to the power meter calibration process.
    Fixed an issue where Auto Zero was incorrectly displayed as an option when paired to the PowerTap hub.
    Improved the calculation of elevation gain/loss.
    Improved the calculation of time behind on the Virtual Partner page.
    Fixed various issues with viewing activities in history.
    Fixed various issues related to courses.
    Fixed various other issues.
    Updated translations.

    Hopefully the 'you are off course' warning for being 6 inches off the path has been fixed!

    "Fixed various other issues."

    LOL.

    I have this idea of the Garmin firmware developer being like Comic Shop Guy in the Simpsons.

    It's like the app updates from iTunes. 'Various bug fixes' means 'I have added adverts for tarot card reading to your weather forecasting application.' maybe they are related?
