Specifically, referring to an updated 520. Not sure what additional features they could add, but imagine something is in the works. Any scoop?

It's been almost 2 years so following Garmin's 2-3 year release cycle....it's certainly plausible.

No, the 520/820/1000 are going up the model scale. A 1010/1100 is due to be announced this year. And the 520 is roughly due. I suspect main things it will get are the latest Connect IQ releases and a bit more "live" functionality.

Hmm. Then I think they're going to have a hard time updating the 520 without undercutting the 820. Because the only significant hardware difference seems to be the touchscreen. Most of it is software features you'd Garmin would want to propagate throughout their product line , e.g. GroupTrack, route creation, incidident detection.
