Garmins with "Map View" selection in "Recent"
I've just begun using Garmins in the past couple of years. I have 3 now... a Drive 50 LM, a Nüvi 57LM and a Drive 52 M. Each has it's own distinctive user interface. How do we refer to these different UI? By the hardware designation (Drive 50 , etc). Could I upgrade my Nüvi 57 to the Drive 52 layout? Does each category (Nüvi, Drive) have unique versions (50, 52, 57) or am I being too logical. (I figured out the LM and M and 5x is screen size).
I find the "Map View" of recent addresses very helpful for visualizing how to make multiple stops efficiently. Is this a feature with all "Drive" designated Garmins?

Now, quite a few years ago, people found complicated ways to hack devices so that a cheap model would run the software from an expensive device. This was a popular topic of discussion over at GPSPassion. But it was purely a hack that wasn't supported by Garmin and there were many "gotchas" that could make your GPS completely unusable. I have not read about anyone doing this for many years. Frankly, I don't think anyone cares enough to devote the effort anymore. The dedicated GPS market is all but dead today and so is GPSPassion.
On the DriveSmart 61, if you press Where To > Recent there are two tabs on the right side of the screen. The top one shows a list of destinations and the bottom one shows them on a map. I suppose that's what you mean by "map view on recent"? I actually never noticed that before.
