I have the same model. I've not used it for a very long time, and the rubber parts are crumbling. I also wonder if it needs an upgrade.

No firmware upgrade. I checked with AECO. The most they can do is the cosmetic part - replacing the rubber parts.

I ended up getting the GPS Map 65. Ok with it - still prefer the GUI of 60SCx though (more user friendly, in my opinion).
